I am home today after spending the last 5 days in the hospital with a secondary staff infection at my mastectomy site. My mastectomy was on Feb. 5, 2005, almost a full year ago!
My surgeon said he has never had this happen before and we are all somewhat perplexed as to how it happened. Am currently on herceptin every three weeks and arimidex. Surgeon is questioning if herceptin could have contributed to situation.
Anyone have any info on herceptin compromising immune system to any degree?
Thanks,
Sassy
