Re: Herceptin side effects?
Hi KsGal,
I'm sorry you have to go through all this.
My mum got her first IV Hercepting almost four years ago. The very first IV gets her a fever which lasted just one day. She was shivering and her temperature was about 38 Celsius. And she slept all day and all night. The onc said that it's pretty much common to have fever after the first infusion. The following IV were uneventful, she felt well and was able to do everything. So my advice is to take the day off at least for the first IV, maybe even for the second one. See how do you cope with it and then take a decision about what you are able to do or not after herceptin IV.
Wish everything will go smoothly for you.
