I was diagnosed with recurrence in December. I am currently on Navelbine and Herceptin. I had 'stiff" achy ankles when I took my original year of herceptin. My onc told me it would go away when I stopped taking it, which it did. Now that I am back on it again, the stiffness and aches are back and it does include my heals this time around. I also find myself questioning every little ache or pain I am feeling, especially since at my recurrence diagnosis I felt so darn good, other than a nagging dry cough. Have you ever asked if the combination of meds you are taking now could be causing some of the effects you are dealing with? I am so sorry you have to deal with all of this, you are in my prayers.
