I am not sure if this is Herceptin related or not. A little history before the question. I finished tx. in Dec '08 (Yippy skippy!!!). In spring '08 I did Taxol/Herceptin. Did the fake menopaus/hot flashes during Taxol. I am 43 and my periods returned in July. A little irregular at first but regular for the last 5 months. Just since stopping Herceptin in Dec. I am having mild hot flashes (not as intense as last spring) and my labido is "flat" and I skipped this month on my period.

Now for the question. What have your experiences been with symptoms post Herceptin? I tried the search but am not very good at it. If there is a thread about this please direct me to it.

Thanks to everyone here for the information and caring I have been reading for the past year. I hope in the future that I can be as helpful to others as you have been to me.
