I've been taking Herceptin since July of 2001. When I began Herceptin I was also taking Taxotere and Zometa. I took this combination each week for 6 months and continued the Herceptin and Zometa weekly for 2 1/2 more years. Since that time I've taken Herceptin and Zometa every three weeks. I lost quite a bit of hair, my eyelashes and eyebrows during the 6 months of chemo. To this day my eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair have not come back. I have contacted Genentech about this and they have called and talked to me about it.
As far as other side effects I do have watery eyes and on the day of the infusion I am a little more tired and occasionally I have a headache that day. Otherwise I really don't have any complaints.
