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.

Hello. This is my first time on this site. I am so encouraged to continue on with my treatment after completing chemotherapy and starting Herceptin. Has anyone had a problem with steadily increasing blood pressure whilst on Herceptin?
I am already being treated with chronic hypertension and it has been very well manged for 15 years. Now I have had 5 herceptin treatments and my BP is steadily rising after each treatment ( I am required to monitor it daily). It is very worrying and I wonder what anyone else's experience has been. I am due to see my oncologist next week.
