I get some challenging side effects from Herceptin. It is only 10% of people who have these reactions. However my Onco said it couldn’t possibly happen, even after my GP and Osteopath proved Herceptin was the likely culprit. Last time I visited the Onco she asked me how the pain was and how many treatments I still had to go. When I told her ten down, seven to go, she then told me I could stop having the treatment as I was over half way and past trials showed this should be enough. She admitted Herceptin could cause the various side effects I was having. They basically lie to you because they don’t want you to stop treatment and don’t know how to stop the side effects.
Remember, doctors have to rely on the clinical trials, blah blah blah so lying is their best option to keep you going on it. Frustrating. I just wanted the truth and acknowledgment.
