Re: Herceptin and chills/joint pain?

I have stiffness and muscle pain on Herception, and the drippy nose. I've had 3 Herceptin-only infustions so far, and it seems that the muscle pain was a little less this time around. Hope that pattern continues.

Lettik, I don't get any pre-meds with my Herceptin infusion.
