Re: Herceptin treatment on hold

Welcome to this wonferful board in time of crisis. My first chemo infusion came along with herceptin, but i had too much toxicity and could not stop vomiting. They had to put me in hospital for two days more because of my symptoms. My doctor decided he would not give me the herceptin along with the chemo because it was risky if I presented that many bad symptoms. I took my 6 round of chemo, then I went to radiation and finally got 17 infusions of Herceptin. So far, so good. NED up to now.
