Did anyone have a headache and feel like sinus burning after Herceptin. I had my first 3 week infusion and I had a headache and feels like my sinuses were burning. I also have some nausea here and there but I believe it's because of my sinuses.

I'm still receiving Herceptin every 3 weeks and with me the burning nose lessened the longer I was on it. I used a Q-tip saturated in olive oil and coated the inside of both nostrils seemed to help the best cuz I would get nose bleeds every morning - that lasted for about 3 months. The headaches remain some days worse than others.
