I actually felt pretty good after the 1st loading dose. The 2nd dose however left me feeling like I had a hangover. Dizzy !!! I felt like I could not look up or sideways very fast or my head would "spin". I still have a little "twinge" of nausea. Very tolerable - no meds for any side effects.
My dizziness lasted about 5 days. I got to the point where I did not feel comfortable driving a car. But now I am back on the road as the family Taxi!
My blood pressure also went up. The onc's main concern was that my blood pressure was higher than normal for a few days. This was last week. I got a brain MRI and an EKG because of the dizziness. Everything came back OK thank God! I too have the exact Stage I Dx as you- only I am 5% ER positive.
I go in for round three of Herceptin this coming Friday. Onc feels that I can go in every 2 weeks if I want. I hate being dizzy- but would rather have this than chemo again!
