Dear Liz
The first dose is larger than the others. You will get benadryl and tylenol for possible allergic reaction and flu like symptoms. I got a moderately bad headache the next day but it was ok.
I do get a runny nose from Herceptin and sometimes a mild headache (only the next day after infusion - even the first time).
Twice, I got flu like symptoms (after the first infusion) but I feel this shows that it is working. Fever of about 101 - not bad and it lasted only about 20 hours. This usually doesn't happen after the first time.
You will be fine. Herceptin is like nothing. If you have any side effects, it is only the next day and it is ok.
Write us on how you do. We are here for you.
Becky
