I also have a bit of nausea the few days after Herceptin, but not the entire 21 days.

Eyes water .... all the time and the outside edges seem to be now almost always sore from all the tearing. UGH!

My Dr. here in Sardegna - blames the Herceptin.

I haven't had diarrhea, per say, but they keep saying that I can take a pill for constipation, well, I don't have that problem ... I have some diarrhea, but not super bad - and bowels are mostly always loose, so maybe this is the Herceptin also.... I thought it might be the chemo, but I stopped chemo 5 weeks ago.

So, hang in there... I have a heart altrasound again today, here my oncologist has had me do one every other treatment, so this will be my third one. Not sure if this is the same also in the US??? Thoughts ladies?

THANKS! Karen
