From breast cancer.org:
Herceptin has some side effects, but the good news is that it doesn't cause the hair loss and nausea associated with most chemotherapy drugs.
Mild side effects
Herceptin causes flu-like symptoms in about 40% of the women who take it. These symptoms may include fever, chills, muscle aches, or nausea. These side effects generally become less severe after the first treatment. Other side effects, including low white or red blood cell counts, diarrhea, and infections, are seen in some women receiving Herceptin in combination with chemotherapy, but are rarely seen in women taking Herceptin alone.
