HER2 Friends,
I received my final Herceptin on Monday, June 23. My body refuses to let me sleep. In the past 3 days I have only had 5 hours sleep. I am short of breath again. I also have hypothyroid disease; maybe the two battle each other out:Herceptin & Levothyroxine ?
I cant take sleeping pills etc. This happened to me before in Oct 2006 after my punch press biopsy- 16 days no real sleep ended up in the ER nearly had a stroke. The medical team kind of swept it under the rug and no medical professional ever explained what happened to me; pointed the finger at Mental Illness; no guys it was real not perceived. All things have a way of coming out. The sleep deprivation from bc/treatment has been the most difficult side effect for me.
