Hi:

I started on Herceptin in June 2004 and remain on a every three week schedule. My muga scans have remained stable between 63 and 65. I just had a muga today and don't have the results yet. Outside of mucus plugs in my bronchial tubes and sinuses, brittle nails and muscle cramps, I had had no continous side affects. I do get a mild headache that lasts three or four days and do retain fluid for about 24 hours after the infusion. (I have been anemic which the oncologist now believes might be a side affect of Herceptin and my white count is low between 2.9 and 3.9 which may be a side affect. Both were normal before my treatments.)
