Re: Looking for Answers from Christine or other long term Herceptin users

Thanks for all the links - I have been reading some of them and they have been helpful. To give some more detail I do take Femara and have had a hysterectomy. I do not have diabetes but do have high cholesterol partly caused from the Femara I think - I am leaning toward thinking the wierd symptoms in the hands and feet are from the Herceptin because they are at their worst on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and Friday is my infusion day ~ it seems the symptoms start to lessen as the week goes on but about 4 hours after the next infusion the symptoms are really bad again - I will see the onc soon and am planning on bringing all of this up and may even seek a second opinion to see what to do. Thanks for all of your support and links with good info that I can go to. Hugs to all
