How comforting to know it wasn't just me!!! After initial herceptin treatment (loading dose) I felt like an old woman after getting up from a chair. My hips were sooo stiff...after several steps I could completely straighten up and the stiffness would disappear. I have found that since I began taking a spin class a couple of times a week, that problem is a thing of the past. Continue to experience LOUD cracking of all my joints....especially shoulders and knees. How in the world is that connected to these treatments??
