Hi Jackie Down Under

I too have sinus problems and they were made worse
by the herceptin.

I have always used a steroid nasal spray (beclomethasone).
I use it when I have a cold to help keep the passages open
and prevent an infection from developing. I also use it
during allergy season.

Like Sheila, I am a firm believer in the plain saline nasal sprays.
They make a huge difference.

If I'm having major pain but do not have an infection, I use
tylenol for the pain and I put a hot face cloth on my forehead.

Hope some of these ideas help.
