Hi Marily,
I am about 1 year off Herceptin. I didn't have any of those symptoms (except the brain fog from chemo). I did have mouth sores, but upped my vitamin B6 uptake to 100-200mg a day and they went away in a week. Sometimes mouth sores are tied to our digestive system (since they are a part of that digestive tract) and the diligent use of probiotics can clear them up, as well, as sufficient vitamin C.
I am about to go back on Herceptin next week, along with Navelbine and Cytoxin. Though I am not looking forward to the chemo, I am happy to have the Herceptin back. Try adding some B6 and probiotics and hopefully that will clear the problem up.
Love, Vickie
