Lab work with Herceptin only?

DL3

Finished with: TCHP, surgery and radiation. Now I am Herceptin only every 3 weeks until 2016... my question...Do you get lab/blood drawn when you are on Herceptin only?

I had labs initially to monitor post-chemo for the first couple of Herceptin only infusions, but once those stabilized I moved to every three months.

I have one more Herceptin infusion (thank God!) and I still get labs done. They're always in the normal range, but MO still orders them.

I also got my labs done every three weeks before my Herceptin treatment. My MO just wanted to make sure everything looked good

I had lab work every 3 weeks and an echocardiogram every 3 months.

my oncologist isn't ordering labs while on Herceptin only. I did call and spoke with nurse she said not needed. I am not feeling comfortable with that answer. I would like to continue the labs at least have them drawn during my Herceptin infusion. They can monitor me if see any changes .....
