Rhonda,
I finished 3 weekly Herceptin 7/11/06. Finished A/C 7/5/05. My worst symptom was diarrhea. Biopsy of colon showed "micro colitis" possibly secondary to "drug effect". I think this meant the Herceptin. I lost 13 # in 3 months from persistent diarrhea. However I have gained that back and the diarrhea has stopped. Other than the diarrhea my major complaint has been the horrible condition of my finger nails. And that has not improved. The skin around my finger tips splits and are extremely painful.
However, I have "no evidence of disease" and I can put up with a lot of side effects to maintain that status. Oh, the runny nose is getting better.
