I was on Herceptin/Taxotere wkly for 11 treatments March-June couldn't do last treatment because it dmg my lung(taxotere). Back on Herceptin July - Current to end 3/29/07. Then I understand I won't do anything else unless there is reoccurrence. Mamo on both was clean Nov. 2006. So I am glad to hear other people having problems with side effects and this is not in my head. I have joint pain in knee's, shoulder and hands, horrible neuropathy in hands and feet and fatique so bad sometimes I can't do anything but sleep. My disability carrier is on my back about returning to work but I don't see how I can work particularly with this horrible fatique although I know some do. I fear cancer has come back because fatique seems to be getting worse. I just don't know what to do, but my next appt is 12/27 so will discuss all with onc and see if he can advise and maybe alleviate some of my fears.

Thanks for listening
