Please post your two cents on Herceptin "side effects" real or perceived!

[Tonya]

I was diagnosed 9-02 with BC stage 1. Did 6 rounds of chemo, no rad. clear scans untill 10-06 with mets to the liver Her2 positive. I have had 14 rounds of Herceptin every week with Taxotere on 3 off 1. I have had the bleeding, runny ,congested, swollen nasal passage ways. The muscle around my eyes constantly quivers and twitches (very annoying). Fatigue is mainly noticable 3 out of 7 days. Memory and putting sentences together seems to be getting worse. Weight gain is about 10 pounds. I have some bloating and fluid retention by the end of the day.I have lesions on my tongue, mouth is kind of sore all over. I have back pain in the small and left side of my back. Hot flashes are really bad at nite. Some weakness in legs but I am still working and living life to the fullest. Thanks for all the info its nice to know you are not the only one having these problems. Tonya
