I had a ton of energy thru my 5th round of the cocktail which included Herceptin. Then the platelets fell and I couldn't make it to watch the 7:30 pm Wheel of Fortune. My husband was shocked. Even after the platelets came back up, I'm still kinda tired so I avoid hitting the bed anytime before 9 or nothing gets done. Hate waking up to the dinner dishes in the sink!!!
I never thought it was the Herceptin, and even if it is, it's saving my life so who am I to complain?
Assuming once I start radiation I'll be even more tired.
And yes, my onc also told me to exercise to combat fatigue!! I'm right on it, doc!
