Not to worry
I had a very tough time with chemo, so weekly herceptin seemed mild.
I didn't experience much fatigue.
After several treatments, I decided to decline the offer of Benedryl as it really makes me sleepy. In time, I declined the Tylenol, too. Figured why take it if I don't need it.
Thankfully, the first treatment was uneventful. You'll do fine, too.
