Herceptin just exhausts me, sometimes so much that I feel nauseous (and it can last almost a week which is why I switched to the every 3 week (I know you can't because of the potential heart problems)). I am home from work today because I am just too exhausted. I will say I have just one left. My ECHO is at 50-55 and it started in early June 2005 at 65-70. My onc said the last one was 55-60 so he just said -"lets finish up with the next one" which is my last one. I think he was hinting to me to not ask for the full 2nd year (I am getting 5 extras beyond a year) but I wouldn't because I am very commited that the extra 5 take me to 2 yrs beyond diagnosis and that is a logical and good thing.

So... do I think it can be the Herceptin, yes I do. If it persists, get it checked out to be safe but I think your brain MRI would be clean anyway.

Big hug to you
