Hello All

Just finished 18 months of treatment yesterday -- 6 months of AC/T & 12 months of Herceptin!

I'm hoping the following symptoms were from Herceptin & wil begin to dissipate:

Fairly severe pain in hands (primarily thumbs) & sometimes in back.
Very runny nose
Intermittent very runny eyes
Congestive heart failure -- extreme shortness of breath on any exertion. However, the damage is on the RIGHT side of my heart rather than left. RVEF = 23. Cardiologist thinks that is very strange as my LVEF = 76 (down from high 80's). I suppose time will tell.

Best of luck and many thanks to all. I will stay a frequent visitor here.
