Hello everyone. I had Herceptin infusions for 12 months, 3 months w/Taxol and then 9 months by itself. I started Herceptin Oct. 2005 weekly and stayed on it weekly until I finished radiation in March 2006. Then my Onc changed me to every 3 weeks Herceptin until I finished it in Oct. 2006. I don't recall any side effects of the Herceptin except the runny nose; and that I didn't even realize could have been related to the Herceptin until I read some of the other posts on here. I found Herceptin extremely tolerable to my system.

I enjoy reading all your posts. Thank You.
