I would like to say for sure it was the herceptin...but in my case...I am also on taxotere and carbpotin along with weekly herceptin. That being said...I do know almost for sure...the sinus problems ARE from the herceptin.
I too get a sore mouth...mainly my tongue for some reason? And the acid reflux WAS bad. Nearly destroyed me the first round of herceptin. But again...I did have the other two drugs too.
But as far as the acid reflux and stomach problems...I had the WORSE time of it the first go around. But I had this NEW young oncologist...and he gave me NOTHING other then anti nausea meds at that time. I have this NEW women oncologist and told her how bad my acid reflux was the first time...how I couldn't eat of drink anything without it coming back up in my throat and burning like all get out. She said thats ridicous that my first oncologist did NOT give me anything for that. She said I shouldn't of had to ask either...that he should of known better.

So since her...I have no more acid reflux, or indigestion. She gave me some meds, "Protonix" and "Pepcid". They really do the trick. So look into that if you are having the acid reflux. I feel so much better thanks to her.

The ONLY other side affect I can tell you I can pretty much guarantee you is from the herceptin...is some dizziness. Its happened a few times after my weekly herceptin treatments. I kind of feel off balance and want to fall towards the left. It stays around a few days...but it does pass. It comes and goes...its strange.
