Now that you mention it, I have been having periodic earaches and could not understand why my ear was hurting. I will now pay attention to when this happens and see if it can be related to the herceptin.
My onc always rejects any notion that herceptin causes any side effects other than the first infusion and the potential heart issues. They just really don't know enough about this drug yet to be certain of the effects. Different people react differently to the herceptin.
Take care and best wishes. Linda
