Re: Side effects?

Hey, Glad to hear the Herceptin has worked to keep you NED. I have been taking the H for 1 1/2 years.

I have had little eye tic on on eyes somethimes, not a lot. Also leg cramps in the middle of the night a few times. I have osto-arthrist in my hips that has really progressed over the last year. They are making problems with my legs, and back. They are why I had a hard time standing up stright after seated for a long time. I have been seeing a PT twice a week for a couple months.

You are doing the right thing by having a brain MRI. Let us know

Blessings

can stand up under it."
