Lauire,
I have had calf, toe, finger cramps while on herceptin. Finished my 1 yr.
in May - still have cramping now and then...I have been taking magnesium
and potassium along with foods that are rich in potassium. They are reeally very painful, I even had the cramping come on when I was driving
in my toes. Had to pull the car over and get out to stand on my feet.
I have had many a night of jumping out of bed in pain to walk the cramps out.
It does improve...hang in there.
Hugs
Jean
