Emeile,
My quick response is...yes there are alot of aches and pains after treatment. I found 33 rads of radiation made me feel like an old woman. Took me a long time to get my strength back. Herceptin gives me aches and pains too. That all being said....please be on alert.....
My oncologist tells me to listen to my body. If something is not right, he wants to know. I am done with Hercepting Dec 19 and then I go to follow up appointments. That is really when my oncologist wants me to pay attention and report anthing out of the ordinary. I am hoping that your oncologist picks up on what is really going on. And hopefully it is nothing serious. You know your body, be wise, patient, and persistent to get the right answer. We are all behind you.
Catherine
