SIDE EFFECTS
Hi Ladies,
I finished chemo last week. YIPPEE.
Today had my 5th Herceptin. Just a question about side effects.
Has anyone had yuk taste, diarrhea, clogged nose or runny nose? Or any others.

Hi Airlie,
I had all of those lovely side effects as well as dizziness, vomiting and neuropathy in my feet. I was on carboplatin and then that was swapped for cyclopsphomide as well as taxotere. Herceptin made me feel a little "off" and dizzy. Not quite nauseous but I just didn't feel right. It would start whilst the treatment was being done and would last for a couple of days after but no where near as awful as the combined TCH. Apparently most people get no side effects from the herceptin. There were 3 of us where I had my treatment that the herceptin affected. You are definitely on the downhill run now. Good luck with it all. Karen xox
