Herceptin Side Effects
I am receiving Taxol and Herceptin. My first cycle I had severe bone pain and burning with each bowel movement; I then started rectal bleeding. My second cycle; severe bone and joint pain. My vision tends to be blurry; just after receiving treatment; headaches lasting several days. Water retention. Chest pressure and shortness of breath when walking.
I am told I will need Herceptin for one year. What lasting effects will I have to endure?
When I tell my Doctor/nurse side effects they tell me they never heard of this. I do not like being dismissed in this way. The medical profession is doing a great disservice to all Breast Cancer patients with that attitude...Sharing of information is so important for all of us and future generations...
