Hello,
Been awhile since I logged in to this wonderful support site. Anyway, I have been doing 1 year prevention herceptin since 1 Sep, and started having jaw problems around this time - does anyone else suffer with this. I am concerned that it has something to do with going through the herceptin, as I had absolutely no problems before. When I ask my oncologist and family doctor, they say they don't know. Yesterday, it was so bad I couldn't eat - maybe not such a bad thing since the herceptin, I have gained about 10-15 lbs - doctors also say they don't know that to be a side effect. I shouldn't complain, because I am still here. Any help in this area is greatly appreciated.
Hugs,
Barb H.
