This reply is for those few who are having Herceptin without any chemotherapy - at all.
I am 3/4 through my Herceptin infusions. At this point , the only side effect that I see is that my fingernails split , peel , break and are now down to "the nubbin". I have had two infections related to this. Compared to any other side effects - this is nothing ; especially when you consider that Herceptin is saving my life!
