I have been on Herceptin since January 2007 and will continue on it until January 2008. My first and second echos showed an LVEF of 79 and 71 respectively, however my doctors felt that these were artificially high for some reason. My third echo came in at 65, still good and the last one I had a month or so ago was 58. So, Herceptin seems to be having some effect on my heart but so far there is not enough concern to discontinue it. I have consistently had nasal problems since starting chemo (TCH) - a little bit of blood, dry nasal cavities, etc. - and the problems continue on Herceptin. Recently, I have developed sinus headaches which I plan to report to my onc tomorrow at my checkup visit. I read that quite a few of us have sinus problems on herceptin so I am trying not to worry too much about the headaches at this point. Cheers to all!
