Just finished year of Herceptin given every 3 wks. Had 12 wks taxol too.I looked at this discussion board because I've been experiencing strange and inconsistent muscle pain, esp in my legs. I've recently associated it with Herceptin...I feel it the day or two after infusion and it's been getting worse as time goes by and the number of treatments add up. Wondering if age is a factor. I'm a (very active) 69.
I also have the runny nose, watering eyes, esp when I first go outdoors.
My balance doesn't seem as good as it used to be and I have a lot of stiffness in the morning and after sitting for awhile.
I'm oh so glad to be finished with treatment and I look forward to these effects dissipating as time goes by.
