It is six weeks since Karen finished her final Chemo+Herceptin and she was so looking forward to feeling well and returning to as near normal as possible which included returning to her workplace.
Due to the flushes she is pretty fatigued and it takes her a couple of hours to come around in the morning.Does feeling that way sound familiar and is it only temporary?

My daughter was on hormone treatment for many years and did indeed have flushes but as the initial post said she was given the strong impression that when her chemo treatment was completed and Herceptin on its own took over she would feel no side effects.
I appreciate your response.
I started having hot flushes once I took Herceptin by itself. I believe it is indeed a side effect.
