Re: Wanted to pop in and say HI
Thank you all, I really haven't had any bad side affects from being on Herceptin for 8 years, other than the sinus issues and headaches I have always gotten when taking it. My heart functions are still just fine. I was considering getting off it, but I don't want to mess with anything that is working. Not sure if it is still doing anything at all but, im not changing a thing right now. sherryg
