If you read the very find print on the Herceptin info sheet, you'll see that it CAN cause severe problems, even death. I'm the only person I know who went into shock about 45 minutes into my first infusion. I was transferred to the ICU immediately where I had a 50-50 chance of living for 3 days. Then I went to the Cancer Wing for another 6 where I was given my 2nd infusion over a MULTI-HOUR time period. Talk about waiting! Since then (2 years ago), I've taken Herceptin either every 3 weeks or weekly, depending on how I'm doing.
No problems now.
Love and light,
Lisa
