Re: Headaches

Hello Colleen,

I'm not on herceptin now but do remember when I was getting herceptin infusions getting terrible headaches and terrible aches in my legs. At that time I wouldn't even drive. My oncologist
Suggested instead of stopping herceptin I stay on it
So he prescribed
Medication for the headaches. For me it was doable.
I hope your headache goes away all goes well with your appointment!
