Re: Herceptin and leg and joint pains
Marjie
I finish my herceptin the end of Aug. It seems that these last couple of months have taken forever. I too get the runny nose. Achy joints not so much as I am always sore from my workouts  Helps hide it I guess. Just know we are all standing behind you, especially those that have finished their treatments. It helps to read about their joy of finishing to help keep that carrot dangeling in front of you. Keep the faith and be patient, hope you start to feel better.
