Herceptin hangover
OK ladies and gents need some advice. Yesterday was my 15th of 18 herceptin treatments and today I feel like I was hit by a mac truck. When I stood up to leave yesterday after treatment my joint pain was the worst it has ever been. I have been having the joint pain for several months but thought it was the femara. Have a headache and just feel like I have a hangover. (At least what I remember of a hangover many many years ago). Anyone else experience this? I have some swollen fingers as well. My blood pressure which has always been normal is starting to go up. Femara related I am told. Just was wondering if anyone noticed that as time goes on the herceptin gets alittle more uncomfortable, although tolerable. Thanks in advance for your replies.
God bless. Darlene
