***Request for those of you finished with/finishing one year of Herceptin***

Hi Rhonda:
I think this is a great idea, and I share your curiousity. So, I'll start...I recently finished my year of herceptin, so I'll need to update in a few months.
My last 3 week herceptin was August 8, and I finished chemo the end of October, 05. I'm hormone neg, post menopausal (I'm 53), so I'm not taking anything now.
I had few side effects with herceptin, mainly a mild runny nose, post nasal drip, which seems to be going away. I'm also starting to feel ever so slightly more energetic (I've been running and working out since finishing rads) and clearer in the head. And it seems that my hair is already starting to grow a little faster (my hairdresser will be able to confirm this when I see her next.) So maybe all this is in my imagination -- I'm not sure. All I know is that herceptin was a very easy drug, and yet, I'm feeling better and better now that I'm off it.

Hi Rhonda: My last herceptin was July 14. I think I have maybe a little more energy but not a lot. The runny nose is better. I haven't managed to lose any weight yet but I haven't really been working on it like I should. BERTA

Hi Rhonda, I have only been off my Herceptin for a week now, so not long enough yet for any symptoms to disappear.

I finished my last chemo last year August 15. I am ER/PR--
