• A: Herceptin is recommended to be taken for 1 year. There are dosing options available. • Weekly: You may receive Herceptin weekly, when it is started with chemotherapy. • Every three weeks: You may receive Herceptin on its own once every three weeks, after surgery and chemotherapy have been finished. Talk to your health care team to decide which dosing option works best for you and your lifestyle.
