Well, I am on the same chemotherapy your mom took, and looking forward to doing just the herceptin in another few treatments. I don't really have any side effects from the herceptin alone, which I took for a while when on a chemo break from an infection. The pain meds, however, did give me constipation. I sure would talk to the nurse or doctor about switching to herceptin at a lower dose every week, and also maybe a change up on any pain meds or whatever might help her symptoms. I am sure that if they know her side effects are bothering her so much she is thinking about going off the Herceptin, they will continue to work on getting a regimen together that is more doable for her. I hope things continue to get better..lots of prayers and positive energy to you both.
