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.

Kath, have you tried rubbing petroleum jelly into the nostrils?
I suffer from nasty nosebleeds at the best of times due an unrelated medical conditipn as does my mum. Now that AC killed all hairs in the noszrils even worse than any other winter has been.
My put me on petroleum.jelly ages ago and it really hels as it coates the nostrils and if you get just the jelly withour vaseline type additives there is nothing to reacz to so it acts as prozevtive coating with no irritants... You can oick up a tub of it in a generic brand for just a couple of dollars in any supermarket...
