Hi Kathy,
I just finished a 3 month stint with Herceptin and Navilbene and found it one of the easiest combos to tolerate. I did not lose hair but hair did seem to grow slower. The day after my infusion I was tired (it was my couch day) and I did get a little peripheral neuropathy in my feet (but I had some from previous chemos so I was primed for it). I treated the neuropathy with 50 mg of B6 daily and added L-glutamine powder 3 times a day when it flared up.
You should do well on this - good luck to you!
