I finished my one year of Herceptin in Feb. 06 and finished chemo in July 2005. I attribute most of my side effects to chemo, but I still have neck, shoulder, back, and hip pain. I also have "chemo brain," numbness in my feet, hand and feet cramps (sometimes very severe), stuffy nose, can't sleep (or stay asleep), constipation, headaches, weight gain (around middle), and can't seem to get my energy back -- extremely exhausted by end of the work week and end of sleeping at least one entire day on the weekend. I do consider Herceptin a miracle and feel that it's saved my life -- dx with IBC in January 2005 and now according to path report cancer free!
