I have just finished chemo thank god! but still have to have herceptin, I’m having it at home subcutaneously, has anyone had any side effects from herceptin on its own? It would be really interesting to know.
Thanks everybody Emma
Hi Emma76
Whilst you wait for the other users to reply with their experiences you might find it useful to read the BCC booklet on herceptin, it contains information on benefits and possible side effects. If you would like to order this or read it on line just follow the link below:-

I hope you find this helpful.
