Re: Does Herceptin cause sweating?

I just had my first Taxol/Herceptin infusion last Thursday. Since then I notice what I can only describe as "Hot flash" followed by being cold. This so far has only happened at night and not during the day. I know it's not fever (feels totally different) but sounds similar to your experience. (I was pre-menopausal before the chemo, still have all inner workings.)
