Hi Carol - Welcome to the boards. Sorry your here, but you've found a great place for finding support, making friends and getting the best an most up to date info. I took Herceptin for 1 1/2 and am back on Herceptin again after 2 years. I am one of the lucky ones that has had no side effects from the Herceptin. You may still be feeling tired from the chemo. Chemo is accumulative and many people feel the fatigue for years. If I were you, I would take Sheila's advice and ask for Benadryl and Tylenol prior to infusion. Keep it up sweetie. Remember, you physically and emotionally have been through a war and deserve time to recoup...We are lucky to have Herceptin. You've only got 3 more to go...Good luck!!
