I had weekly Herceptin whilst on Taxotere chemotherapy to end of 2005 then three weekly herceptin until August when it was found that my heart had been affected, so until January 2007 I was off the herceptin now after two doses (three weekly)of herceptin I am finding that I am getting increasingly tired.

It suddenly struck me, some other drugs sometimes have to have dosage reductions when it is known that I take thyroxine, so has any tests been done on the taking of thyroxine with herceptin?
Please anyone got any input?
