Vision changes
My advise about vision changes due to Herceptin is to not assume that they are permanent. When I was getting Herceptin every week, as well as triple doses every three weeks, I thought I was experiencing changes to my vision. Now that I am getting Herceptin every three months I am almost sure it's changing, but it is temporary. I have found that my vision changes for about a week or two, then goes back to my normal prescription. I have had to use non-prescription sunglasses during this temporary time because I can't see out of my normal glasses :-)
