Hi Celeste
I finished 12 months of herceptin yesterday. YAA HOO!!!
I would say cautiously that I had no side effects at all from the herceptin.
However, my heart scan results went downwards from the baseline one I had last year, and I had to take a short break from herceptin in January, but was able to start it up again and stay on it for the full course.
I am curious whether my joint pain and splitting finger tips will stop now that I'm finished with the herceptin. I'm on Tamoxifen also so it's difficult to know which one of them was causing the joint pain. And my fingers split on Taxotere, which I finished in November last year, but my oncologist said that couldn't be the cause of my splitting finger tips so far down the track.
Good luck with your treatment,
Helen
