I have been on Herceptin only for 12 years, starting in 01 after a 15 year hiatus, I had mets to chest. For last two annual PETS have been NED. No real problems at all. My fingernails are very weak but it never occured to me that Herc. could be causing it until another patient complained of that. It is a miracle drug as far as I am concerned. Don't be afreaid of it!
