I only have three more Herceptin IV's. I have been lucky enough to not have to have any chemo. My only issues with the Herceptin - is that I have no more eyelashes, my nails and finger tips are a mess - and splitting and cracking and painful - and my nasal pasages are a mess. I will be glad to be done with this drug and I just hope that down the raod they don't inform us that it has harmed us in anyway. I finally weaned off Effexor - that was a nightmare. It helped with hot flashes - but the withdrawal was awful. If you are considering it please google "effexor withdrawal' before you start. MD's are not aware of how terrible it can be to stop it.
Good luck to you all - this is a great site!
