Hi. I had a right breast mastectomy & lymph node removal 7 july. Grade and stage 4. Her2+, ER/PR negative. Chemo started 23 august. 3 cycles of FEC followed by 3 cycles of doxitaxel. Had herceptin injection along with last 2 doxitaxel. Had awful diarrhoea but put it down to the doxitaxel. 

Last chemo was 14 December. I then had my herceptin jab in isolation on 4 January. 6 days later awful diarrhoea for 7 days. 

Has anyone else had the same issue with herceptin jab in isolation? I'm dreading the next one. 

Interested if anyone else has had this ? I've got to have the injection every 3 weeks until 25 October! 

Thanks x 

  • Hi, I noticed your post has not had a response as the site is quite busy, so my answer will pop it back to the top.

    To your question, I am also on Herceptin injections, but no diarrhoea from these.  I do suggest you tell your nurse or consultant.  Hope it eases for you soon.
