I got a respiratory infection during my AC treatments. I had a persistent cough during herceptin. Called it the Herceptin cough. It stopped a few months after Herceptin treatments ended. That said, take very good care of yourself. You don't want to get a bad cold or infection during chemo. Stay out of drug stores -- that's where sick people go to get their medicine!
