Excessive Coughing/Herceptin ???
I started excessive coughing with my 8th Herceptin treatment. By the time I got my 9th treatment (3 weeks later) I had developed a serious upper respiratory infection, coughing is now worse. I was given antibiotics (Z pack) for the infection; but cough is still bad when I lay down. No fever, just coughing to the point I had lost my voice for several days. I am concerned about continuing Herceptin for the year as was my original treatment plan. Are there other patients who have had to stop Herceptin? How are you doing? I also just finished 28 Rad. treatments when all this started. I am having a chest xray tomorrow. Anyone else familar with this side effect, any suggestions. Thanks
