Hi Susan,

I think you'll find Herceptin pretty uneventful. I had mine along with Taxol, so I'm sure I noticed the Taxol more than the Herceptin. The main side-effect that I had with Herceptin is a runny nose. I finished a year of H in July, and my runny nose has stopped.

Are you on a hormonal treatment too? Tamox or an AI, plus Herceptin, is a great combination.

Jen
