Re: Herceptine and runny nose..did it stop just before you recurred..?
Welcome back FOB. Please let us know what treatment options you went for in the end. I know you had many suggestions from the board and it would be really useful for others facing similar issues.
The herceptin symptoms you mention are very interesting. I checked back in my diary and found that I had snuffles, runny nose and joint pain up till about 2 months before my recurrence.I am now on just herceptin and again have a runny nose etc plus I seem to get more colds and also mouth ulcers and cold sores than before which take longer to clear up. I try to view this positively as my immune system fighting back! After all some of the documented cases of spontaneous remission follow a bacterial/viral infection where the immune system 'wakes' up and recognises the bc cells.
