I have already posted this comment it in the wrong place! I previously said I would let &#39;Jayne &#39; know how I got on with my second cycle of herceptin. I felt very fatigued for 2 weeks following my first cycle and the Onc said it was due to a build up of chemo/radio in my system and should subside in time. I have just had my second cycle and, although feel fatigued, it&#39;s nowhere near the level it was and I feel much better than I did. I have looked herceptin up on various websites and did read on one &#39;not to drink alcoholic beverages&#39; whilst on herceptin. Pity I read it after having consumed 3 glasses of red wine!

However, I&#39;ve had my first dose of herceptin (that I know I&#39;m lucky to have) but it left me very tired and feeling &#39;drugged up&#39; for about a week. Can anyone share there experience of herceptin with me - is this a &#39;one off&#39; and my body will get used to it or am I to expect the same side effects from the next 16 doses? <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=220163&AppID=16234&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
