leg cramps on 3 week dosing
Last Tuesday was my first 3 week herceptin dosing. My leg cramps are much worse than my 1 week dosing. Do they get better as the weeks go on? Are they just bad the first week and get better as the three weeks go on? Is there something I can do to help the cramps. I don't feel them to bad if I am moving, but I need to sit sometimes and sleeping is crazy. I stretch my legs in the morning and get charlie horses. ouch, very painful. Any advice?
I really want to continue with the 3 week dosing, it will be so much easier for work/life/treatment balance.
