I too have had the runny nose. Initially, I had a mild headache and indigestion which lasted for ten days after the first infusion and three days thereafter. I have had the chills after some of the infusiions, usually the night of the infusion. My husband laughed as with a house temperature of 77 degrees I needed five blankets to keep warm. I do have stiff joints with Herceptin but they get better as the day goes on. All in all, I would stay on Herceptin forever if my oncologist and insurance would allow it.
