thanks Becky

thanks for the info on the site....great idea to gain this insight for all parties

I think I had better wait until I have completed my four cycles of Taxotere before I talk about any symptoms of Herceptin as think most of my symptoms relate to Taxotere and as have only had one infusion of each of them I will not know until am only on Herceptin.....

I am told by all the nurses and oncologist that Herceptin is very tolerable and many symptoms may relate to the lasting symtoms of chemo..for the first few weeks/months anyway...Is everyone else told the same??
