5 year survivor today
Hi everyone
It is 5 years today since I found my first lump...second was in August last year. I am currently in remission but lately have had a twitchy left eye lid and also a couple of heat sensations in my left heel..anyone else had these symptoms? Regards Jackie |
Congratulations Jackie. i have been on Herceptin 15 months now, and found that my eye twitched a lot for the first 6-9 months, but seems to have got better now.

Yay, Jackie!! Now to add many more years NED to that 5.
I have the eye twitch as well on Herceptin only. Other muscles will go on a twitching rampage at times too. I can't address the heel heat since my hot flashes burn me from one end to the other! |
Jackie,
Big Congratulations on 5 years! God Bless! Jean |
Jackie
WAY TO GO...AND KEEP ON GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
That's an important milestone, Jackie! Congratulations, and keep on expecting the best! Hugs, Tricia

Hi Jackie,
First of all, congratulations on a big milestone! I love to hear about women like you. You go girl!! I just finished 6 months of chemo in combo with herceptin. I was getting herceptin weekly. Just got my first 3 week dose of herceptin on Tuesday and my eye is twitching like mad. (Of course, I think it's a brain met!!). I can live with it, but it's annoying. I'm just glad to hear it's not only me. I will mention it to my onc tomorrow. Never read about "eye twitches" in any of the side effect literature for herceptin. Donna |
Congratulations on your anniversary!!!!

Wow how weird is that? I get the twitchy eyes (even to the point it's hard to read) and my right heel bothered me a lot. I kept telling the onc I wanted a brain MRI, he gave me one and nothing showed up.
Then I told him about the heel, and he said it was very unlikely that a tumor would be there even though I had a tumor in my right femur. Go figure? The heel still acts up, but since I bought a cushion for my heel, it's been much better. That's just weird how we both have those 2 complaints. I think I'm going to blame it on the Herceptin. |
Great news Jackie.
I also get the odd eye twitch.
I sent you a reply ages ago. Did you ever get it? I have mucked up private messages before! Christine |
Congratulations Jackie, your membership in the long-term survivors club is now official :)
I have eye twitches off and on also. <3 Lolly |
Hi Jackie,
Your 5-year anniversary is very encouraging for all of us! I just started having left eye twitches for the last few days after receiving my 4th Herceptin tx. I've been off chemo for over a year, so if it's drug related, it's probably the Herceptin. It doesn't last very long peri incident so not annoying yet. G.Ann |
Congratulations on your milestone Jackie! Ditto for me on the eye twitches. Must be the Herceptin.
Love, Kim in CA |
Congratulations Jackie. Fantastic news. Hope you can go out and celebrate big. I have always had twitchy eyes, so I wouldn't be able to tell the difference on Herceptin!
I'm really pleased to see your post, as I hadn't seen any for awhile, and was hoping you were OK. Obviously you are better than OK. Take care. Love Lisa |
Congratulations on five years! Hope that you have many more!

Congratulations to you Jackie! What wonderful, encouraging, news! Here's to another 5 years, plus. Maggie
|
Congratulations on this anniversary!
I hope you have many. many more! You give us all hope!
|
Congratulations!
Eye twitching - I will throw a wrench in this one. After my last Taxotere treatment, two weeks ago, my right eye started twitching. I figured it was the build up of the taxotere. Just had my load dose of Herceptin yesterday, I will see if the twitching continues or not. Congratulations!! again!! Here is for a long, long, happy life! |
Congrats Jackie.h.

Congrats Jackie! Your an inspiration to us all. thank you.
