I've been on herceptin alone for three monthes. I finished all the chemo and I'm currently doing radiation. I'll be doing the herceptin for another seven monthes. Biggest change for me is my vision. I have a very hard time focusing, sometimes things go out of focus all at once. (Not fun when you're driving, I've had to pull of the road a lot, now I'm afraid to drive). Saw an eye specialist and he says I have dry macular degeneration, there's nothing they can do for it. I guess it will steadily get worse.

Also, lately, I have had some bowel problems, the dietician put me on a low fiber diet to help control it but so far, no luck! I still consider myself lucky if the herceptin is working, but how do we know for sure if it is? I ask my onc all the time "how am I doing"? He says you're doing well. Who knows?
Hugs to all
