Do I have to go every week for my Herceptin® (trastuzumab)?

You have the option of going every 3 weeks as trastuzumab stays in circulation for at least that long. It has been shown in clinical trials that the blood levels of trastuzumab are about the same if you receive three times the weekly dose every 3 weeks.
