Just a note to say that some, maybe even most or all, of what you are experiencing as "brain fog" and closing your eyes and drifting away, may be due to the chemo and the premeds rather than the Herceptin, at least that was my experience.
I hated the thought of steroids, but I will have to say that I missed them when they were gone. It gave me a rosie outlook to life. Lots of energy, though undirected.
Further, I do think some of my "brain fog" has lifted 4 months post chemo. (Still on the Herceptin) and I think yours will, too.
I am reluctant to say that I feel that the sleeping pills I take could well be the cause of the lack of sense of time going in a straight line. (see previous post) I want to state this so that others know that it is not just Herceptin that could be causing the problem. However, I have read that Herceptin may cause sleep problems? It is a circle game.
If anyone wants to discuss this further, you may contact me off list.
