I finished a year of weekly taxol/herceptin about 15 months ago. Two months ago I had a gall bladder attack and had emergency surgery to have it removed. Then last week I woke up @ one in the morning with awful pain in the side. Ended up with emergency appendectomy. None of my doctors think this is cancer related but I am wondering about long term effects of Herceptin. What do we really know? I am only 45 and would not have expected this. (Ironically, in between the two surgeries, there was a third surgery to put pins in my hand from a fall!) I've gotten to the point where I don't want to tell anyone I'm in the hopital! Getting off track.... ANYONE else have anything like this?
