Re: Do you get scans with your quarterly checks?
I am still on Herceptin and am 13 months post diagnosis with Stage 3b. My Oncologist does not order scans due to the false positive issue and also, no cancer markers are ordered in lab work. All of my follow up will be self-reporting at physical exams. That's it.
I too have pain if I sit for a while, which subsides when moving around for a few minutes. I find that all of my joints are stiff, and this seems to be quite common in women who are on Herceptin and post-Herceptin. Also, I've been told that the stiffness can be caused by menopause. Oh my......so many possibilities.
Glad to hear that Tylenol is working for you and I am thrilled to hear that your markers came back perfect! That is truly great news!
Keep moving!
