Susan,
I've only had 2 doses of Herceptin, but so far I am feeling really good. With the first dose I was really tired, had a headache, and slight nausea for about 16 hours. However, the 2nd dose went great. (First dose could have been stressed related!) I took 3 ibuprofen about an hour before my appointment. That evening I went grocery shopping and the next morning worked out at the gym. I do have a runny nose, but also have allergies, so not sure what to make of that yet. Good luck on the 27th!
