Herceptin Reaction
After reading all the posts on Herceptin side effects seems I must be the only one with such unprecedent side effects. After FEC 100 x6 I started Herceptin. By the 2nd dose I started with peripherical neuropathy and after the 4th dose I ended up in ER due to extreme lost of balance, numbness in extremities , feeling of dizziness and loss of balance, unable to speak or write and confussion in understanding simple things. felt almost like a stroke and was very scary.
My temperature fluctuated between 36.2 to 37.4 in 1 hr with chills and hot feelings within minutes of each other. I lost all my toe nails and started to have the same process on finger nails as well as feet towards anckles swollen all the time. Now is 5 weeks after my last dosis and most of the symptons subsided. The point is why did I have it. Now without it I am scared as I am Her2+++ and only taking arimidex.
Anybody experienced this effects , even partially?
Thanks . What a wonderful; group!!!!!
HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSS to all
