Dear Skye,
I'm curious about the half hour Herceptin treatment, did they give your entire treatment in 1/2 hour? It takes 2 hours to administer Herceptin as my body cannot tolerate it any faster. One time I developed this wierd cough, the nurses said it was from the Herceptin being administered too rapidly so they slowed it down. I take Benadryl and tylenol before a treatment which is given by one of the nurses. I have not had any side effects like you have experienced. Only thing I have is a constant runny nose. My aches and pains were there before Herceptin so I can't say if they are from the medication. I am not getting the other drugs you mentioned at the present time but who knows when my onc may change my medicaitons. I hope you continue to do well, keep me informed. We're all on this road together and need support.
