Herceptin/Tamoxifin side effects

I know that I have posted a topic like this, but I was wondering how many of you are having issues similar to mine.
I keep having "flu-like" symptoms. Body aches,chills,nausea. Don't know wether to attribute them to the Herceptin the Tamox or my worst fear- Mets/recurrance. No fevers or other signs of infection. Just keep on feeling like crap.
Cancer...the gift that keeps on giving!
