While on Herceptin my stool was quite loose at first, then over the months seemed to settle down to a comfortable "normal." Now that I'm done, I'm back to the old issue of constipation and hard stools.

I took Herceptin once a week, and the stool did seem looser the first couple of days, then backed off somewhat.
