Barb, how wonderful that you are advocating for your sister. She is lucky to have you. You might also consider posting on the HER2 Group Forum on this site. I think that more people visit that thread regularly and you may receive more feedback there.
Regarding side effects. I actually dodged many of them. So you never know. We all react differently. But we all come out on the other side.
Keep the faith.
