TCH after effects

Hello ladies,

thank you for responding! That is exactly what I call this - 'jelly legs' and it only occurs after I have been walking upstairs or uphill. The strength is just gone. I have to stop while I catch my breath as well. This used to happen for a day or so after my 3rd and 4th treatments of TCH but it has never lasted beyond a few days. It's not getting worse but it's not getting better either.

I have been walking 45 mins to an hour all through my treatments, and rarely missed a day. Just have to hope that the poison will work itself out. Hasn't been a month yet since the last treatment...I know, I am not patient . If it is still bothering me at my next Herceptin tx April 23 I will ask the doc about it.

Meanwhile I am taking supplements to get my immune system back to normal and hopefully better than it ever was. I am an active person and just hate that this has happened to me, or any of us.

Thanks for your support.
