I also suffer from "herceptin brain" in the same way as all of you but have been off herceptin now for 5 weeks. I still get the runny nose so perhaps the effects of the drug remain in our systems for some time. I was taken off herceptin because of my heart and low (42) MUGA score. In looking under Resources on the her2support site to see what I can do to get my score up and what this cardiomyopathy my onc described this as and I noticed that one of the symptoms was poor short term memory as the brain is not getting enough oxygen. I wonder if even those of you who have alright MUGA scores could have at least a reduction in your brain oxygen thus causing you to be functioning at a less than normal level? Just a question.
