I felt much the same as Sheila with my first dose. Now, I get very exhausted the next day (although I do try to take a walk and do the "basics" like cook). I work and get my infusion on Friday afternoons. I do a lot of business travel and herceptin does not interfer (since Saturday is my tired day). I did not gain weight but sometimes I get diaherrea for a day or so (not bad just loose stools).

Currently I am getting Herceptin weekly but starting September 16, I go to the 3 week regime so I don't know if I will get even more tired (and I get a runny nose too).

Herceptin is an easy drug to take (I also take Arimidex since I am mildly ER (50%) and PR (5%) positive as well).

Best regards,

Becky
