I took in 6 rounds of TCH which I finished May 11th. Now I am on the 3 week schedule of heceptin. Being on herceptin is a BREEZE compared to the chemo. Whew!!! I will be on it until January 2008. I feel pretty good and excercise daily. I also started CoQ-10 as of today. I don't notice any noticeably side effects from the herceptin. I think the side effects I do have are residual from the chemo.
