Hi Karen
I’ve just finished my year of herceptin. I’ve not hade any problems with my asthma - in fact it’s been very good, and I’ve hardly had to use my blue inhaler. I’ve had a couple of stinking colds as well and apart from pulling a stomach muscle when I sneezed I’ve had no need to go to docs for antibiotics for chest infections as I have in the past.
The only things I can complain about were always feeling as if I was starting with a cold, a runny nose after each treatment and feeling increasingly tired (exhausted). I put this down to it affecting my heart.
But no problems with asthma.
Good luck

Hi Baby,
I have found that I get a few wheezy days after my herceptin. At first I wasn’t sure if it was the herceptin as i was still getting chemo, but I got it a bit worse when I moved onto 3 weekly dose. Its still manageble tho so not too worried by it.
