Please add this to the regarding side effects of herceptin real or imagined as
your experience is very important to share as those who have had herceptin with/after chemo or antihormonal therapies are unable to be sure which side
effects came from which drugs/their effects.

Drug companies are supposed to do post-marketing research to determine the side effects of drugs once a much larger population starts to take them (clinical trials involves a few thousands only usually) They don't seem to be stepping up to the bat, so what you fine ladies list here could be used to supplement what they do not seem to be doing with any gusto.

Thanks!
