14 years agoHi Sue, yes have started Herceptin (just had my 2nd dose yesterday) but it is also in combination with chemo, so its difficult to know what the side effects are for Herceptin specifically. I do get the strange nose issue you mentioned...dry, crusty nose yet runny at times, and had headaches last time too. I get joint pains also, but not sure if this is from the chemo or Hercpetin. My understanding is that I will also be on Hercpetin every 3 weeks indefinately. Yes, the port is wonderful...I'm so pleased I got it put in. I had it accessed for the first time yesterday and it was great!
Do you get tested to see if the Herceptin is working for you?
Take care Sue,
