Hi All,

Please respond, if you are taking Herceptin and what your experience has been.
Have you had any side effects?
Are you taking it with chemo drugs?
Are you taking it alone, and, if so, how soon did you start Herceptin after your chemo treatment?

Your response would mean alot for a patient that is trying to make this decision.

Best to you,

Pam, Editor Breast Cancer Site

Sorry new to this so clicked too quickly. Friend took herceptin along with other chemotherapy drugs so it would be very difficult to tell which drug caused which effect. Each treatment has resulted in different side effects as well. Do people get herception on it's own?

Hi,
I saw your post and I am here to tell you a little about my experience with HERCEPTIN. I have been taking this chemo since November 06. I was diagnosed in May with breast cancer and have had a double mastectamy.
I find that the Herceptin does not seem to cause me much problems. I do feel tired for a couple of days and my get up and go seems to have went, and I do find that I kind of move in reverse some days, but thats OK.
By the way I take the chemo every 3 weeks for 90 minutes. I had a choice of that or every day for 30 minutes. That wasn't for me. I will be on this drug for 1 year. I also take ARIMIDEX whic is a 1mg tablet every day, that I will take for 5 years. So I am pretty well set. If you want to respond I will look forward to it. Hope I have been of some help. If you need to talk, Im here. OK?
