@primek thanks I'm looking forward to the excursion. I have looked into the herceptin injection and I don't like that idea as apparently it is a one dosage fits all, where the iv herceptin is based on your weight so tailored for each individual. I would feel like some people would be getting too much where others not enough and no studies have been done that I know of to say its more effective or less effective than IV dosage. Also the hospitals are giving funding for patients who come and have IV Herceptin so there is a negative impact on the hospitals if it all went off IV dosages. Only know this as I had depth discussion with oncologist about how wonderful it would be not having to go to hospital all the time.
