Please post your two cents on Herceptin "side effects" real or perceived!

I have never had chemo. and am currently on Herceptin every 3 weeks for one year. Here are some side effects I believe are related to the Herceptin:
. drippy nose with crusty stuff - very sore
. vaginal dryness , itchy,burning
. mouth sores - cheeks and just inside lips
. chemical smell coming through skin for about 24 hours .
. same chemical smell in urine for about 24 hours

Anybody else experience this?
