Started Chemo (6 rounds) and 52 weekly Herceptin Mar. 20, 2009
Stage 2B Grade 3, 2 lymph node positive.
er+/pr+ HER2+++

I too have had thin cracking nails but am also on Arimidex so thought that was the cause. Have been taking 1800 calcium a day and Boniva once month

Sinus issues. Never have had these problems. Assumed it was residual from chemo. Never thought about Herceptin connection

Feet and leg cramps!! Again, thought it was my shoes!!

Back pain.

As of late I have round finger tip sized spots that appear. Don't itch, don't hurt just appear and then go away in a few days. No sign of a head on it like a bite. Little tiny vein like appearance inside the spot.

Eye pain and discomfort. Was told by an opthomologist that chemo can damage tear production. Put on Ristacia (sp?) for dry eyes. Does not seem to make any difference and has been over a month. Vision in my right eye has continued to worsen and my glasses were new last summer.

Fatigue. Assumed that was from the chemo and all I have been thru.

I have only 3 treatments left!!!
