Hi Anne,

Welcome to the HER2 Support Board, you will find many kind and helpful people here.

Congratulations on completing A/C - Herceptin will be a walk in the park in comparison. I also had A/C followed by Taxol and Herceptin.

As far as side effects, I have posted the link (I hope it works) that answers your question and more. It is rather lengthy, but I think you will get a feel for what many of us have experienced. Good luck with this part of your treatment plan. Believe it or not, the year goes by quickly.

Please post your two cents on Herceptin "side effects" real or perceived! (

All my best,
