Question After Herceptin Side Effects Study

Has anyone participated in a study about side effects after completing Herceptin? Does this study really exist?

I saw someone mention creating a database to collect info for Genentech. Was it started?

What would Genentech do with this information?

I don't know if there was ever an official database started, but there is a thread on this board, started by Lani, which is interesting:

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

Herceptin has served as the "Backbone" of my treatment strategy for over 6 years, giving me great quality of life. In 2005, I was privileged to participate in the University of Washington/Seattle HER2 Vaccine Trial.
