Joint pain

Dear Kevin and Sue,

I don't know anything about weekly Herceptin treatment. The oncology group I go to gives every 3 weeks to majority of patients, but I also get saline which is started before Herceptin. As far as various strength, I have never asked but I will Fri when I go for treatment. E mail me back so I'll have your address and I'll let you know the type I'm getting. I have been getting Herceptin for 1 yr, will continue at least 1 more yr as I have Her tumor, very aggressive (was biopsied, malignant, then wider margins performed). Plus I also have a tumor on my spine discovered in bone scan, changing me to Metastatic Grade IV. Also I had BC 11 yrs ago, only treatment radiation. Had radiation on spine, but too many other problems to have breast radiated. So far tumor on spine is stable.

Keep me informed of your progress. I have such back pain don't think about other areas, seeing pain mgt dr in July.

hugs,
