Hi there! What a year! I am almost there, three more Herceptin treatments to go! June 26th will be a day of celebration!
A few questions for "experienced" survivors:
1. Has anyone experienced muscle and joint aches through out their year of Herceptin? It is one of those of those things that is so bothering me and want to know if others have felt this. If so, does it eventually go away?
2. Now that "the end" is getting near, I feel scared, my "security blanket" is being taken away. Any advice is greatly appreciated about how to move on living my life, without so much fear and in a positive frame of mind.
Thank you for your input!

Why are they stopping the herceptin? I had herceptin therapy once a week for three years until it stopped working for me. I was then changed to xeloda and Tykerb.
