Re: Please post your two cents on Herceptin "side effects" real or perceived!

Hot flashes were terrible. Within 10 minutes of starting they would start.

Re: Please post your two cents on Herceptin "side effects" real or perceived!

I did the same. There are some articles on Internet that state weekly dose is better because it keeps constant dose in body. I had same symptoms even with weekly dose, but I can't imagine what it...

The atarax comes in a cream also. It drove me crazy until I used pills and cream.

They put me on nasonex and I seem to do better. At my last PET scan they said there were permanent narrowing to my right nasal passage. I have been using saline and it seems to relieve discomfort...

Poor thing. I was put on atarax when I had reaction to hormonal changes when I had my son. It worked. I was so itchy I was miserable too. They had a cream too.

I agree. It gives you a sense of security. I could not imagine going through taxol again.

I had hand issues and thought it was from taxol but it continued when I went to Herceptin only. I felt it is better to deal with that than the chance of my cancer coming back if I stopped early.

Amen! I am not sure when you start counting, but after 3 years from diagnosis I don't think about it first thing when I wake up. I went for PET scan today so the wait begins!

I had pain for a long time and still do somewhat while still on Herceptin. As painful as it is I see exercise as helpful. I go to physical therapy which also help.
