Herceptin hands..

[linn65]

Just wondering if anyone has trouble with there hands hurting after herceptin? I had it last Tuesday #15. And my left hand feels cold but both hands ache. It it isn't my feet it's my hands. They are tingly and achy, and I assumed it was the herceptin but maybe it's the tamox. I only have 2 herceptin's left to go so I will know not too long after if its the tamox causing this problem.

Yes, I did. It started out as just my feet but as I got closer to my last infusion my hands were also affected. I wasn't sure it was the herceptin because I'm also on tamoxifen and boniva, but I had my last herceptin in April and the problem has completely resolved since then.

How long did it take? Couple weeks.

I wasn't really consciously thinking about it, but within a month I'd say.
