I have been on Herceptin since 2004. I will be on it indefinitely. I am also on Tykerb and Xeloda, as I have had recurrences in the brain. No extreme issues with Herceptin, other than aches, brittle nails, and fatigue. Sometimes headaches. Tykerb and Xeloda are another story. Just recently my heart funtion has begun to show the effects of chemo and Herceptin.

I was diagnosed in January with triple positive stage 1A breast cancer. Treatment has been double mastectomy, herceptin given alone every 3 weeks and tamoxifen. No real issues. A little joint stiffness and fatigue for a day or two following infusion. No heart changes according to my echos that I get every few months.
