I did a search on the site, and didn't come up with anything directly - and I read the herceptin.com web site and saw nothing -
I have had 4 infusions of herceptin (1.9 years after finishing treatment for stage 2B). My blood pressure at my last infusion on Friday was really high and I just had it checked at work and it is still really high - especially for me since I have always run low... I have a call into my doctor, but wanted to ask -

Do any of you know if herceptin can cause hypertension?
