Re: Anyone experiencing weakness in their legs?

My partner is having this problem now. Will see oncologist in a week and a half. Calling them tomorrow though.

Her legs ache and the weakness has been getting bad fast. She is just on herceptin now for the next 5 years via IV every other week. She has to have premeds and steroids with her herceptin or she swells up pretty bad. gave us quite a scare once Her throat was closing up, and I made her pop some steroids and benadryl and we went to the onc for fluids. That's when the premeds became part of her treatment.

She started with Adriamyacine (sorry about spelling), then taxol, now just herceptin. had a masectomy and reconstruction and radiation too. It was stage 4, she has metastatic disease, but scans are clear....a miracle.....but I live in fear of loosing her and this leg thing has me quite worried.

Stay strong,
Katerina
