Does anyone know of Herceptin the chemo drug? It affected my lungs and would like to know if anyone was on it and did it affect your lungs.

    Herceptin
    I was on Herceptin for a year. I have not heard of anyone who had trouble with their lungs. I can effect your heart. They did muga scans to check the heart every 3-4 months. I had no problems,just finished in September. Hreceptin was easy for me just a little achey. Good Luck Have a great Holiday.

    Nothing yet,
    I just had my second treatment yeserday, T/C with herceptin and nothing to bad yet, like Grandmax3 says, just a little bone aches, but considering the rest that could be, I'm greatful this is all there has been so far. Hope your's goes better and try to have a wonderful holiday filled with family, friends and much LOVE.

    No problems
    I did herceptin for a year ... and had no problems at all. The main thing they look at during herceptin is the heart ... and they do keep a close eye on that for any problems ... but other than the heart ... I haven't heard of any major side effects.

    hugs.

    I'm not on Herceptin, but, want to say hi and welcome. I am sure others that are will post information for you about their experience.

    Good luck!
