Joint Pain

I have not have joint pain that you describe so maybe it was the combination of Herceptin and Taxotore mixed together. I get Aridia and have some knee pain but had that before I started treatment 6 months ago. You mentioned neuropathy, I always thought that was associated with other conditions such as Diabetes but maybe I am incorrect.

This is my second episode of BC, first 11 yrs ago. I was rediagnosed in April 2006, much more aggressive than first suspected. My biggest complaint is with the area that had a malignant tumor on spine and I had 18 radiation treatments to get rid of that. I cannot lie flat on my back, pain is terrible, I take pain pills and try to function each day. Still work part time but don't know for how much longer I'll be ble to manage that. At this point have no idea how many more Herceptin treatments I will be getting, I suspect I'll be doing this a yr from now. Keep me informed of your progress and how you are doing.

hugs,
