thought to bring this up again
Hello everyone,
Sue has had a pretty good run being on Herceptin (only) up until now. Her last treatment really brought on a lot of bone pain in the hip area and the heels of her feet. She describes it as feeling like arthritus.
We read the posts about diluting Herceptin with Sterile water and the results had. We wonder if there are any more testimonies/suggestions.
Sue was getting weekly treatments of Herceptin, and this is the first three week period before she starts treatments every 3rd week. We don't see eye to eye on that decision, but ultimately it is hers to make. The concern I have is that her next treatment will necessarily be a heavier one because of the new schedule, so pain is naturally something we'd like to minimize.
