Very Minor Side Effects--mostly just annoying
Began Herceptin + Taxol (12 weekly infusions)prior to lumpectomy
Stopped Herceptin for 6 weeks while receiving FEC
Resumed Herceptin every 3 weeks -will complete 52 weeks 3/26/08
Acne-- Face, neck and back -began with very first infusion. My Dr. prescribed doxycycline- seems to take care of it (can tell if I miss a day).
Declining vision--although could be age, I'm 43 but never needed glasses prior to treatment
Will take my last treatment on 3/26/08 and feel great---did gain some weight (15-20 lb.) but can't blamed it on Herceptin--my work-outs have slowed down and my eating has not been the most healthy--
looking forward to putting this behind me and dropping those 20 lbs.
