I have been experiencing some pain in the tips and nails of my toes lately, probably for a few weeks or more and I am wondering what this could be. Anyone who is on Herceptin or has been on Herceptin ever experience anything like this? I have no discomfort anywhere else..just my toes. Stranger things have happened!

could be leftover neuropathy from your chemo. I still have it over two years later, just in my big toes.

Juanita, I thought neuropathy just causes numbness or tingling? I have discomfort.

I've experienced severe bone/joint pain while on Herceptin including my feet and toes. I now have my herceptin reconstituted with saline water and no more bone/joint pain.

I get numbness on my fingers on occassion. I don't ever have rhyme or reason for it, so I blame it on less lymph nodes and surgery under my arms. Guess that wouldn't explain the toes... I have had so many chemo drugs and drugs, I don't know anything anymore!

Are you taking any pain meds? Those really aggrevate the numbness.
