I didn't either

I handled herceptin well also. I was able to complete one year of it and it was given to me every 3 weeks. I did have a runny nose and wasn't able to lose the weight gained during chemo and herceptin. The moment herceptin ended - literally within weeks - the weight started to come off. I also had some joint aches - knees and hips mainly - but that was all minimal and very tolerable.

All in all, nothing to complain about and very thankful I could tolerate it for one year.

Hi Maryanne
