Hi all..I now have 7 more Herceptins...I can't hardly believe it. I finally had to go to a Pain Management Doctor, otherwise I couldn't have gotten this far with the Herceptin. I take Darvacet w/tylenol and neurontin 5x's a day...almost every three hours. I also make sure I take benedryl the night before , as a premed and 2-3 nights after my Herceptin treatment. I am so happy that I am almost finished...I now am more than certain that THE PAIN IS THE HERCEPTIN for me....It is contra-intuitive but then again so is chemo...just trying to go with the best reseach info out there and so far for Her2Neu++++ IT IS HERCEPTIN.....We will all get there...hold on and consider pain meds..to get through it.

Love & Smiles...
