Re: Herceptin - 52 weeks? Neuropathy?
I finished chemo(ACT and Herceptin) in Feb of 2009, but was able to continue Herceptin until November 2009 - full year dose. My neuropathy is in my feet, never disappeared, but I went to a neurologist after trying all of the over the counter "stuff" for months and even acupuncture and nothing touched it. I am now on 50 mg Nortriptolyne (sp?) and it is wonderful. No side effects and is a great long term drug.
