I ALWAYS READ THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SINUS PROBLEMS WHILE ON HERCEPTIN. I REMEMBER THINKING "OH THIS IS JUST GREAT" BECAUSE I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH SINUS & RUNNING NOSE ALL MY LIFE AND THOUGHT HOW CAN IT GET ANY WORSE. WOULD YOU BELIEVE MY SINUS PROBLEMS HAVE ALMOST WENT AWAY AND I HARDLY EVER HAVE A RUNNY NOSE ANYMORE. I'M ON HERCEPTIN A LITTLE MORE THAN 2 MONTHS AND I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS EXCEPT TIRING EASILY. MY ENERGY LEVEL IS BETTER THAN WHEN I DID A/C & TAXOTERE BUT I STILL FEEL TIRED ALL THE TIME. I'M NOT EVEN HAVING HOT FLASHES WITH TAMOXIFEN. I'M DOING SO WELL I JUST FELT I HAD TO TALK ABOUT IT BUT THEN IN THE BACK OF MY MIND I'M THINKING MAYBE I SHOULD KEEP QUIET AND HOPE IT CONTINUES. WHAT THE HECK, I MIGHT AS WELL BRAG AND ENJOY THE MOMENT. THANK GOD FOR NO BAD SIDE EFFECTS.
