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

62yrs old, menopausia at 54, dx IDC april2011, lumpectomy July2011, er-/pr-, Her2+ sentinal nodes-, 8 cycles TAC/3WEEKS,
Herceptin/weekly. Dx bone mets Oct2011 and added Zometa to tx. After terminating chemo por febrile neutropenia, continued with herceptin +Zometa/3weeks up to now. New symptoms since finishing chemo-hot flashes, slow hair growth. Runny nose, crusty eyes, blurred vision in the afternoon, fatigue. I can't evaluate respiratory effects because I have COPD but I'm much more prone to bronchitis episodes since starting treatment-4 episodes in 10 months, 2 of them since off chemo and with white cells back to normal. Bloated stomach-I call it Herceptin tummy.
