Many on this site are much more knowledgable than I am. But the sheet my onc gave me on side effects of Herceptin is a cough. I have been on Herceptin since Jan. (4 infusions) and have not experienced a cough yet. Good luck to you both. It is not easy being a caregiver. Your wife is lucky to have your support. God Bless
