Hi I will be done with Taxol next week but will still receive Herceptin infusions for a year. Will the side effects be as adverse? Thanks!

  I receive Herceptin and Perjeta every 3 weeks and the only side effect I've ever had was mild diarrhea. I switched from the infusion to a micro dose injection called Phesgo and the diarrhea has gone away.

  Thank you. I'll ask my oncologist.
