Any advice, positive experiences (or otherwise!) appreciated.
Just about to complete radiotherapy after having breast conserving surgery in January. I have been advised to start taking herceptin re aggressive cancer type but am afraid of possible side effects. I've had negative reactions to a variety of medications in the past and not sure how to proceed for the best.

Hi, I’ve had reactions to other chemo drugs but no problems at all with Herceptin. I don’t notice any side effects at all. I have 6/18 done x
Hi
I did herceptin 10 yrs ago after surgery and chemo . I completed my yr on herceptin with no problems apart from a runny nose on and off . I am back on it again at mo . I had 5 rounds of chemo and I’ve had 2 of the herceptin injections so far with again so lasting side effects other than runny nose .
Unfortuneatly it’s been decided to put me back on a chemo TDM1 from the 19th, but I’m told it’s milder . It also includes herceptin .
Best of luck with your herceptin it really is so much easier . Xx
