Herceptin Side Effects
Hello All,
I've just completed my fourth round of Taxotere-Carboplatin-Herceptin. The side effects have ranged from mild-vomiting, to sever- fatigue and constipation. I have six rounds of this protocol scheduled and then 12 more rounds of Herceptin alone. What side effects might I expect from Herceptin when taken alone? When might I expect my hair to grow back? Thanks for any assistance. I wish you all the very best as we fight this hideous disease together. This site is such a wonderful resource and help!!
