Re: Side effects from Herceptin only (after 6 TCH)?

Easy, running nose and achy joints but once I started glucosamine it got alot better. I did find that when I was in the sun alot I had tingling skin. Like prickly heat. Once I got out of the sun it went away. Your hair will start to grow and you will feel stronger everyday, well at least I did. It will be a breeze after TC. Not like chemo at all. Breath easy,it will probably be smooth sailing now. Good luck!!!!
