Hello Kat S in Tokyo,
Before herceptin I was getting a little leary because I was reading about all the side effects many were getting. So I opened up a thread asking who was out there that have been on herceptin and got little if any side effects and many responded that they did in fact got minimal effects. I have been on herception since Feb this yr and so far (knock on wood) I have not noticed any side effects. Also, during treatments, from day one, I have been able to wear any type of shoe that I wanted. Neuopathy has never been an issue with me.
Good luck, hope all goes as well with you as is with me.
Maryanne
