Hi all...finished my herceptin May 30, 07 had VAP removed June 5,07. AS reported earlier I was one who had very bad side effects. I considered stopping treatment at 6 months ...but finsihed the entire 12 months. i am still suffering I take neurotin and darvaset four times a day. I couldn't get through the day without these pain/nerve meds. I sure hope that the effects will subside...I can't imagine living this way...or could I? Sure beats not living I suppose. Is there anyone out there who had serious side effects and after some period of time they went away? Could use a little hope....every ache and pain makes me fear the worse....
Thanks for the feedback...
