Hi Kathy A,

I was on weekly Herceptin and Navelbine for 6 mos, took a break, and have been back on weekly H & N now continuously for a year. The only time I notice any pain, e.g. in the area of my tumors, is on the first of the 3 weekly Navelbine treatments after the one-week break.

For everyone who mentioned diarrhea or nausea while on Herceptin, I get diarrhea the day of Herceptin if I exercise too much and especially if I have any milk products - slight lactose intolerance that usually doesn't "get" me unless it's a Herceptin day.
