Herceptin, Dizzy, Lightheaded, Sinus Pressure
Hello everyone! I was dx 2/1/05, Stage 1, Grade 3, No nodes, ER/PR-, Her2+. I had a partial mastectomy 2/7/05, finished 6 rounds of dose dense TEC (Taxotere, Epirubicin and Cytoxan) on 5/18/05, 33 rads on 8/1 and began every 3 week Herceptin 8/18/05. One week after my Herceptin I began having dizzy, lightheadedness and for the most part it came and went (oddly, other than being tired I felt fine the day of my treatment and 4-5 days later). I had my 3rd infusion on 10/6/05 and 4 days later my dizziness began, came and went and when I talked to my onc (my onc nurse told me to talk to him about going on every 2 weeks) he said to wait a few more as he only had studies on the weekly and every 3 weeks and didn't want to move me to every week right away, unless needed. The day after I saw him, my dizziness increased (has been bad all weekend), moving my eyes makes it worse, I feel a "sinus" pressure over and under my eyes, my vision is somewhat blurry (if I strain my eyes I get a headache, but when I stop or close my eyes, it goes away), twice I felt like I was falling out of my chair, my head feels like there is a vice around it, my eyes get tired easily (my mother says it looks swollen under them) and I feel "airy" at times. Any comments, suggestions, input? Thank you.
Rhonda
