Hi all
Yay! Had my last radiotherapy today. Wasn't too bad after all. You were all right. Even louder YAY!! my hair is growing (approaching Sinead O'Connor length now) and still dark.
My cancer was triple positive - ER, PR and HER2 so ........
having my first dose of Herceptin on 27 May. I've read the blurb but has anyone had practical experience of this treatment? Any experiences welcome.
Love to you all, Maureen x

HI maureen.
I have been having herceptin for several months now,and I have to say things havent been too bad,certainly nothing like when I had chemo,just feel bit more tired than usual after treatment and about one week after feel bit like am getting a cold,sneezing a lot and bit headachy,so dont worry too much am sure you will be fine,Take care Janelou
Well done on finishing your radiotherapy. I have been on herceptin since August last year and have absolutely no side effects whatsoever from it. I actually have a healthcare at home nurse come to my house once every three weeks to give it to me (i am an nhs patient) which is so good as dont need to go to the cancer unit to have it. Think this scheme is relatively new and may just be for my area, not really sure. Basically after the chemo the herceptin is a walk in the park for me, hope it is the same for you.
