Hi Denise, Sorry to hear about your pain. You are only out 3 weeks from your last Taxane tx, which could explain alot fo waht you're feeling. Taxanes stay in the body and may have some lasting pain S/Es, ( but they do eventually dissipate. I was troubled with alot of leg pain, and hand pain, and B complex was a lifesaver. As far as supplements, with Herceptin, It's not a problem. Herceptin alone is not a Chemo.
I am also a huge fan of Flaxseed oil which is great for us er/pr neg. ladies.
Give yourself some TLC my dear, you're on a good path.
