Runny/crusty nose

Hi ladies,

I've had 4 treatments of herceptin, every 3 weeks. The first 3 weeks, my nose ran quite a bit. I had posted here about about it and realised I was not the only one that was carring around tissues all the time for a runny nose..

The fourth time I had no symptoms of a runny nose and thought I had it beat, but, after a few days I did notice my nose was crusty inside and I couldn't understand why???? I thought I was getting a cold or had a drip but no cold or sinus problem. I did have blood sometimes too, if I blew my nose.

I'm sorry to say I'm glad I'm not alone in this. My next treatment is wednesday. Lets see what this brings.

I have noted some things to try that were posted on the board here. I will also talk to my onc about it.

Thanks for posting them!

Maggie
