Re: Herceptine and runny nose..did it stop just before you recurred..?
Schoolteacher you seem the exception so far. But as you mention you have allergies, I know that it is not your case but I remember reading somewhere that people with strong/many allergic reactions have less cancer, which is logical.
Jackie personally I am always in favour of natural option first product for example, but since it is going in your nose it need to be a bit 'waterproof' like vaselin, maybe bee wax based product..
Anna no I never noticed a bloody discharged when on herceptin, just the dripping nose.
