Side Effects of Herceptin and Perjeta

[salgaljacobs]

I had 1.5 cm local, node negative breast cancer recurrence 3.3 years after my first breast cancer diagnosis. HER2+ PR+ ER+( triple positive). I opted not to have Chemo, but did have targeted therapy for the HER2+ cancer, Herceptin and Perjeta subcutaneous injections for a year. The worst constant side effects I have had are 1) blurry vision. I've been to Ophthalmologist 3 times in one year. My vision is the same as it has been for last 30 years and I have no cataracts. 2) My arms near biceps and elbows itch terribly. No rash. Pain is like electricity, burning and itching. I've gotten prednisone for help, but don't want to keep doing that. 3)Also my finger tips and toes are numb and tingly. The soles of my feet are like walking on sandpaper. I've tried Acupuncture for toes/fingers/feet but it's not helping. It's been 2.5 months since I stopped Herceptin/Perjeta injections. Has anyone had Herceptin and Perjeta with these ( or some of them) side effects? If yes, did they go away and how long to go away? Thank you
