Yes, I too have this - and have had 5 treatments of Herceptin but before the last 2 cycles - I was on chemo too and I didn't know if it might be the combination of the two... but now I know it has to be the herceptin. I also have had a allergic reaction every time to the therapy, but they have given me a bunch of cortizone and antihistamines - and it seems to help, but not the eye issue. My face and chest and upper body alway get real red for a day or so after - and then that passes. The eye thing hasn't --- is not fun, but now after reading a lot of posts on this site - I know its the Herceptin.
