I have been on Herceptin alone since May 07. I am considering stopping it. My memory has been failing - and my fingertips are sore and cracking and I have tingling in my hands and feet. The nose issues I have been able to deal with. Have had 1 MUGA scan prior to treatment and one about 2months ago - both were okay - but I am getting nervous about what else this drug is doing to my body. I know I was VERY lucky to not have to go through chemo treatments. I just lost my best friend to colon cancer - she had major chemo and Avastin over a year. I feel for all of you that have had to endure the chemotherapy. God belss you all. I do appreciate the input from this site.
