Herceptin side efects

runny nose
soft, tearing, breaking fingernails
some hair loss/thinning
difficulty sleeping
weight gain (from herceptin?)
cough (from herceptin? could be the allergies)

Anyone else with a cough? This one worries me a little, but recent chest xray was ok. Can allergies cause a cough and congestion?

Cheryl, I took Ativan for sleeping, too, for about 1 1/2 years. I got hooked, and coming off of it was kind of hard. I had been complaining to my onc about how fatigued I was. He looked at my meds. Decided it was probably the Ativan, which it was. I felt SO much better after getting it out of my system. I will still take it on occasion, but not frequently.
