Re: Side Effects of Ending Herceptin
Since ending my chemotherapy--see below-- I have continually endured significant bone aches. I have an especially painful right hip. The "pain" is ongoing and is ever present. I did have a full body bone scan to eliminate bone mets...completely clear! Not sure if this is TC or Herceptin related...but it hurts!!!
