Hi:
I was wondering if any of you have experienced lung atelectasis and mucus plugging in the lung and sinuses with Herceptin. My latest chest CT scan shows that I have mucus plugging in the bronchus and lung and an increase in atelectasis in the lung since the last Chest CT in September. The radiologist does not believe there are any suspicious pulmonary nodules. My brain CT scan also shows considerable mucus in the sinus cavity. I have had allergy attacks after two Herceptin infusions that were infused in 30-35 minutes. Since then the infusion time has been increased to one hour and I have taken Zytrec the night before and have not had a problem. I also have the runny nose that so many of you have noted.
I am Stage IIB getting Herceptin off-label. I would apprectiate any input you might have.
