Hi all!
I finished a year of Herceptin (after mastectomy and 4 rounds of EC, Stage I no nodes) on Wednesday and had minor bone pain throughout treatment, increasing towards the end. The pain was usually in the lower half of my body, however, for the last few weeks I've had increasing pain in the clavicle area. I saw my onc last Tuesday and advised him of this, he said to expect all kinds of funny feelings after going off Herceptin and that he'd see me in 7 weeks. I'm leaving Friday for a month holiday overseas, and am concerned about this pain which seems to be increasing. I'm hoping it just might be that I lifted something heavy or possibly from my portacath which is on my right side, but the pain is on both sides and I am now constantly aware of it (it's not awful pain, 2 out of 10 right now) but it's there and I've never ever had anything like this. Of course you know what I'm thinking. Can't find any lumps. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what was the problem? Thanks for any input you may have.
