Re: Herceptin and shortness of breath
Yes, side effects from herceptin can cause shortness of breath. When I was on herceptin I would feel the shortness when I went up the stairs. But my recovery was fairly soon within a 5 min. time frame. It is unsettling to have that happen. If you are having long periods of shortness of breath do not ignore.
Best Wishes,
Jean
