Herceptin flu?

Hi Friends~
Just wondering if you guys still get the Herceptin flu after each infusion, and how long does it last for you?
I've been getting q3week Herceptin for close to a decade & I know to take a couple of tylenol during my infusion otherwise I start to feel flu-ey about an hour after the infusion.
But lately I think I've noticed that in the few days following, I spike a little temp, ~99deg, sometime during the day, typically in the late afternoon.
I don't know...it could be so many things with me & not the Herceptin. I'm chronically neutropenic, take oral cytoxan that is very hard on the bladder & predisposes me to bladder irrittation & UTI, and I just got a transfusion last Friday.
I'm just so tired of feeling puny, not knowing if I'm going to get through a day without Tylenol AND now I'm paranoid about the effects of Tylenol on my liver, as my bilirubin was elevated when I had labs last week.
Sorry to be so grumpy this morning...maybe I should go back to bed & get up on the other side?

Keeping the Faith~
