Re: Side effects question

Hi Susan...I have a few infusions of Herceptin iremaining ...just switched to the 3 wk. dose beginning of June......and have just begun taking Arimidex...what I notice is that some joint pain ... but not bad...I already had arthritis in spine, knees...that was not horrible...and have not taken anything really...I now am thinking I will try ibuprofen is needed. I feel the Herceptin has delayed my mouth /taste, etc. from recouping? I finished chemo last Dec. Since beginning Arimidex my mouth has gotten worse:/ I truly don't even want to think of food...no matter what I try it is the same "taste" and even when not eating... but I do eat and have made myself...keep a health diet...I go clean my mouth when done...and try to distract myself...I also have neuropathy as a result of Taxol... no improvement from it as of yet. I am taking L-glutamine/as per oncologist/daily. What a journey !
thank you for any thoughts you may have.
