I had my first herceptin on 24/7 for primary breast cancer. I had it on a monday, tuesday night/wed morning had these terrible stomach cramps, then vomiting and diarrhoea. The diarrhoea for a few days. My consultant did say when i see you again in 3 months you tell me the side effects! as they are still learning.
I went to a talk on herceptin and she mentioned vomiting and diarrhoea, but did say your body should become more tolerant although after reading some of these posts I'm not sure about that. I'm due my 2nd dose tomorrow, hoping for better results, especially as it is a slightly smaller dose.
Will let you know.
