I get Herceptin every 3 wks, 8 to go. The only side effects I'm having are runny nose, brittle nails, feel a little tired and lower half achey, but that may be due to the Tamoxifen, which I started 3/20/10.

Diagnosed 6/17/10 at the age of 40
Stage 2A
Ductal and lobular
Two 2cm tumours
Double Mast. 7/22/10
ER PR + HER 2 +
treatment AC T 8/10-1/11
Herceptin every 3 wks through Oct '11
