When I started Herceptin, I did the weekly - wasn't combined with chemo - but started this way to see how well I tolerated it. I was very teary and my eyes would get red too. So much that my coworkers asked me if I was okay (because they thought I was crying). After about 14 weeklies, I changed to the 3 week cycle and the tearing is very, very much improved - there was nothing at all except the first 24 hrs (I get it late in the day on Friday so I wake up Saturday with some symptoms). I used antihistamine eyes drops (over the counter - Opcon A by Bausch & Lomb - it is OTC but used to be a prescription). It helped alot. It makes sense it would help since many side effects of Herceptin seem to be "allergy" type (runny nose, skin rashes etc).
Have a great weekend.
