Herceptin drip
Hi All
I have just commenced weekly Taxol/Herceptin (had 2 of 12) and I am finding I have a constant dripping nose (watery, slightly red discharge) and it feels like I'm getting a cold but not.... ...

I had weekly Taxol/Herceptin for 12 weeks and now im on Herceptin on its own. I had some nose side effects, mainly a blocked, bloody nose. One one occasion I also had a runny blood nose.
I was told by my oncologist that Taxol can do this and that its typically not the Herceptin. When I saw him recently post Taxol, he asked if my nose side effects had gone, so it seems its something they are aware of.
Now that im on Herceptin on its own ive had no nose issues.
Is it still continuing for you? Has a antihistermine helped?
