Re: Please post your two cents on Herceptin "side effects" real or perceived!
I started Herceptin along with chemo in February '11. After surgery, I resumed Herceptin treatments and will continue them for a few more months. Originally I was on Herceptin every three weeks, and a month ago I moved to weekly treatments because the oncologist believed that my body may not take such a hit, if the herceptin was consistently in my system at a lower level.
I experience muscle weakness, stiffness in joints, and possibly bone degeneration - one of the my docs said it was degenerative :-(. I mainly deal with fatigue the day after the infusion
