Dear Carina,
I'm so sorry you have had problems with Herceptin. I have only had four treatments but so far no big problems. Other than very fatigued from the large dose of Benadryl which I sleep off when I get home. I too had ductual carcinoma diagnosed in April 2006, 2nd breast cancer, first was 10 yrs ago, 1995 in other breast. At that time I had lympectomy followed by 36 radiation treatments. This time I had partial mastectomy, one lymph gland was positive, others negative. Saw 3 oncologists before making a decision, love who I'm using and so far we'll continue with Herceptin, Aridia and Femora. If things change with blood then I'm sure it will be other treatment. Saw surgeon yesterday, he thinks I need to do radiaiton, just finished 18 radiation treatments on spine for malignant tumor discovered in a bone scan, still trying to recouperate from that.
Please keep me informed of your progress.
