I'd be interested to hear how many of you got Herceptin for early stage BC either before or after it came on the PBS about October 06. I was one of my oncologists first PBS patients.

My main problems with Herceptin was that I had issues with cannulation. However I persevered learning that having more fluids e.g. water or juice before I was due for treatment and not rushing round or getting het up (easier to say than do!!!) helped here. I did not want to have a port as would have happened had they had a second time of trying 3 places to get in.
Also I think most of my other side effects were due to being put on Arimidex.
