Oh My God- this is me ;( I never had chemo but the year of herceptain ( and estrogen deprovation) has turned my shot term memory to mush! My last three week infusion of herceptain was two months today and the muscle aches, stiffness etc. has definitely improved YEA! but brain function - NOT! It feels as if i am ADD and can't seem to get much accomplished - at work it takes me three times longer to do anything and as a lawyer this is problematic at best.
All of the research indicates that herceptain has a half life of at least three months. I was told not to expect any great improvements for at least another month since I was on a triple dose schedule.
The estrogen link I find really facinating. Does anyone know if research has been done on this and how many of us are on AI's and herceptain . I am betting not many but yet this seems to be a very comon problem. i am going to see my NYC oncologist next week and will definitely bring this up.
