| 11/20/2011 | Dear Ms. Shockney, Thank you for your reply. My wife(my life) already have undergone 8th period of HERCEPTIN therapy. Her loading dose was 8mg/Kg and latter doses were 6mg/Kg. her weight at the moment is about 67Kg. so her normal dose can be about 402mg. because of some limitations we had to change our onchologist and he (new onchologist) insists of using all of one 440mg vial. this concerns me about over dosing. please help me. (I can communicate with you in an easier way rather than him) BEST | ||
