Chelee,

I am so happy to hear of your great tolerance to Herceptin. I have been reading on other threads of women who are reporting many, many significant side effects. I have been on herceptin since end of 1/07 and so far I have some side effects, but I couldn't tell you if it was from my TCH chemo or the herceptin. And the side effects I am having are very manageable. I am keeping my wt down, do notice some tiredness but nothing to keep me from excercising after that week following chemo. I have my last chemo in 3 wks and it will be interesting to see how I feel with just the herceptin. Before getting any treatments, I remember my doctors telling me that herceptin is a very tolerable treatment with minimal if any side effects and so that is what I expected. I was so surprise to read about some of the problems other women are experiencing and in the back of my mind I was wondering if i will also later on.

Thanks for responding to my inquiry.
