I was Stage 1 ER+PR+ HER+++,Lumpectomy left, 6 rounds of Chemo and 4 weeks daily rads. Still on Herceptin through November 2013 every three weeks.
I have been mentioning my joint pain but onc says not due to Herceptin.
I have to disagree. I hurt every morning and I walk really stiff. It takes about 2 hours to feel normal.
The side effects are very real. My onc thinks it might still be residual from Taxotere.
Either way it sucks.
