Re: Metastatis Breast Cancer - Herceptin required
Hi and welcome,
I personally found any side effects to be fairly minimal for me, as you may know its a targeted therapy rather than a chemo so far easier to tolerate and I believe I would'nt be still here today seven years on had I had not had this wonderful drug.
I'm sure others can make more suggestions for you and I wish you and your wife luck in making this decision.
