I still don't understand why you are stage 4. The tumor on my supraclavical was 2.3 cm and I had tumors in my auxilla nodes and in both breasts. I was staged 3c. Not sure that it really matters though.

I did have baseline tumor marker blood tests at the time of my diagnosis. However, my onc has not repeated these blood tests since my original diagnosis.

I had my last herceptin infusion in August and I haven't had any blood test since then. However, I will be having blood tests in Feb before my onc visit. This seems consistent with what your onc is doing.

With the exception of the cold hands and feet, I had the same side effects that you mentioned. I found the runny eyes to be very annoying because I couldn't really manage it well. I'd constantly look like I was crying complete with the tears and puffy red eyes.

All of the side effects resolved themselves shortly after I completed treatment.

My onc suggested only vit D and 150 minutes of exercise per week. However, I do take all of the supplements that you mentioned excluding glucosamine and pro biotics
