Dogs are some of my favorite friends! I was on Taxol and Herceptin, but not Perjeta which I hear is a great addition. Lost my hair but it came back softer and thicker.
Be sure to get some bicarbonate mouth wash (ask the nurse or doc for advice) and use it several times a day to avoid mouth sores. You may also have some itching skin and nail problems - I actually found calamine lotion the most soothing.
Be sure to mention any side effects, I had chemo once a week for 6 months because my onc thought I wouldn't be able to tolerate the every 3 week version so that's a thought to bring up. I didn't have nausea but I was very tired. I put on weight but some people lose weight. They may keep you on Herceptin for a while, I was originally told for life but stayed on for 6 years, injection every 3 weeks and it was easy but I see you've done it before. I was actually nervous going off it.
good luck
