Has anyone stopped herceptin treatments with 7 left? Getting allergic reactions from infusions and side effects not good. Doctors could not give an answer as to reoccurring HER2 positive.

Making treatment decisions when facing challenging side effects is incredibly difficult, and it's completely understandable to have concerns about continuing with seven treatments remaining. Many others in this community have faced similar decisions about managing allergic reactions and side effects during Herceptin therapy. Consider discussing all your options with your oncology team, including potential ways to manage the reactions or alternative treatment approaches that might work better for your specific situation.
