Herceptin Scheduling
I have been receiving Herceptin every three weeks with the chemo. First, my Onc suggested giving me Herceptin every week during the chemo then every three weeks for one years; however, he changed the schedule at the last minute. Could anyone give me the info regarding this matter? Since I heard that "every week during the chemo" is the newer scheduling, I've feeling like getting the old treatment. Thank you.
