Re: Please post your two cents on Herceptin "side effects" real or perceived!
Thanks for your comments Patrice. I'm 69, so I don't have the monthly issue. I forgot to mention in my earlier post that I have had a drippy nose for months and sometimes get a coughing spell that I attribute to post-nasal drip. But it seems just about the same now, in pollen season, as it has been for several months.
