I have had 8 Herceptin treatments (weekly) and my "side effects" have been very similiar to yours: soft stool (the whole week), maybe a headache the first day, and sore ribs (but I take Arimidex which also causes aches). The main thing I notice right after the treatment and several hours afterwards, is a feeling of something like an adrenaline rush. My heart seems to beat faster than normal and feels like it is working harder.
I have wondered how much of this is my imagination. But my MUGA from a couple weeks ago was at 50-52% which is not great, and also concerns me. I sure don't want to have to stop Herceptin when I had to work so hard to get it in the first place. I am 2 1/2 years out of treatment, so I am one of the "late herceptin" people.
Good luck to you.
