Post Re: Please post your two cents on Herceptin "side effects" real or perceived!

I get Herceptin every 3 weeks. I too have a runny nose, nice to know it's not just me. Had chemo TCH protocol so have been on Herceptin since Aug of 2010, started Tamxifin in March after radiation. Have not had any fatigue or other side effects, my finger nails fell off from chemo but have grown back and I take calcium and that seems to help keep them from breaking so much. I exercise alot to include racing mountain bikes so I haven't felt any fatigue. Do get chemical smell in urine for a couple of days after treatment.

Diagnosis 6/8/10 DCIS, 7/26/10 HER2+ stage I at age 41
(B) mastectomy w reconstruction but (L) got infected and had to take out expander, will do recon later in year. TCH protocol for chemo went well with no complications.
