I too get some bad heartburn for several days after my Taxotere/Herceptin treatments. I have a hiatal (sp?) hernia, too, but over the counter stuff usually helps. I don't recall if I had this problem when I was on Herceptin alone. I've found that eating sugary treats really aggravates my heartburn, another reason to eat healthy!
