I just had my loading dose of Herceptin this morning - as you all predicted, it was totally uneventful. No premeds, no tylenol - the infusion was the usual 90 minutes, then they watched me for an hour and nothing happened!!
Thanks also to Donna, Andrea and Marie Caya for also responding, and thinking of me today.

I do look upon this drug as the miracle that will keep the beast at bay -

Thanks again,
Caya
