    Hi Guys,

    Has anyone had 6 or more months delay in receiving Herceptin?

    Did they have progression because of the delay?

    I've had one H injection with Taxol and I'm now sorting out drama with my medical insurance and it looks like I'm not winning and will only be able to carry on with the H injection in April next year.

    For now I'm still carrying on with the weekly Taxol,prior to this I had 4 cycles of AC.

    My treatment plan was:

    AC 4 cycles

    12 Cycles of Taxol with Herceptin every 3 weeks

    I haven’t had delays but I’m not getting the H injection, mine is every 3 weeks via IV. 6 months would make me very nervous though, do you have an alternative like IV to stay on the treatment schedule?

    Hi Ilimae

    Thanks for responding,I’m supposed to be getting the Herceptin every 3 weeks but I’m not -I’m currently on weekly Taxol only.

    I’m also super nervous
