Just wondering if it is the Heparin that they use to flush the IV with or if it is something to do with the Herceptin. I notice I bleed much more easily from a small scratch...maybe I need to wear a suit of armor with these new puppies?

Hi Shiela
Yes i noticed i bruise easy after Herceptin, also my gums are bleeding more than usual oncologist said that Herceptin can have a slight thinning effect on the blood, also Heperin dosn't help...another lovley side effect to all the cocktails we keep having!!!!!

Plus, if you have been taking aspirin daily...same effect...thinning blood...
