Hi: I am in the middle of year-long herceptin treatment. compared to taxol, there are much fewer side affects, however, as I progress, I have found myself to have increased muscle and joint achiness, lethargy, weight gain. I keep mum about it, due to the comparison to chemo, however, I am definitely not myself..
