Re: lingering side effects after finishing herceptin
Herceptin caused hives for me, but I now take a Reactine before each dose and it has helped to stop the hives. My nose also drips a lot and I have no bladder control. I sure hope this side effect reverses as I hate wearing diapers as they irritate my skin. I finished chemo in April and now have tendonitis in my right wrist. Apparently this is a known side effect of chemo and being right handed, it is difficult to function without a lot of pain. Thankfully, my heart function is good.
