I am almost at the end of my 12 months Herceptin, feeling old and lethargic, still aching feet (taxol?) have very itchy skin on my arms and occasional diarrhea. Not sure how much of this can be blamed on Herceptin, it will be interesting to see how things change when I finish. Like Islandgirl I am definitely "not myself" but maybe that is the legacy of this whole cancer process.
