Funny you should bring that up. I've been on since mid December and notice a dry cough for a few days after infusion that gets progressively better (especially if I have a week off). I attributed it to the Herceptin I am getting with it, which causes constant runny nose. I figured the "drip" from the runny nose was causing the cough. Are you getting herceptin also?

Tonya,
If you are also on Herceptin the cough is most likely caused by the Herceptin. Cough (dry) is a very common side effect of Herceptin. I think it comes from all the sinus problems that Herceptin brings with it.
