Hi Therese,
I'm so sorry to hear about your recurrence. It seems to me that a lot of recurrences happen within the first 2 years - mine was at about 18 months.
I am also on Herceptin and Abraxane (along with Carboplatin - yuk!). I get the full shabang once a month and then 2 weeks with just Herceptin and Abraxane (then 1 glorious week off - hooray!) I do get a small amount of bone pain for the first 24 hours after. I can control it with Tylenol and sometimes a Percoset, if it happens around bedtime. Are you taking anything to control the pain?
