Hey Susan,
Welcome! Of course I am sorry that you have to join us at all, but herceptin is really a terrific drug! The infusions are so much less toxic on the veins than the a/c. You will most likely receive a pre-med of benadryl and some tylenol. I was very sleepy after my herceptin appts. I would pretty much go home and sleep til the next morning. I never had to horrible of side effects, a bit of a runny nose, slight headache, and some loose stools for a few days after tx. I guess that all doesn't sound really great. But it is sooo much more tolerable than the chemo.
Prayers for easy txs and complete healing to your body. You have made it through the tough stuff. Yahoo for you!!
Hugs,
Lexi
