Brenda,
here is a link to the Herceptin side effects that our sisters have experienced. Nails in general do seem to be effected by Herceptin as well a other minor S/effects. I personally find that using some type of cream of Vitamin E oil helps keep the from "splitting.cracking" etc.
I started H in March o7 and did not know which drug was causing each of the side efefects. Now that I am on H alone its becoming more eveident what I can contribute to Herceptin. We all have different experiences, but fortunately my issues are minimal.
Hope this helps
Melinda
