herceptin side effects
I was on herceptin for almost 2 years, every 3 weeks. I began taking it with Gemzar and Taxotere right after my mastectomy. I gained 10 lbs as my appetite increased. I deveoped a mass in sinus area (not cancerous) which gives me problems several times a year and I have off and on positional vertigo. My nails are soft and thin and my hair which used to be thick and bushy is thin and straight.
But I love herceptin for keeping me NED and these side effects were very tolerable.
I am now on Tykerb (2 months) and still NED. Praise God! Life is good.
