I finished my Herceptin at the end of August last year. To this day I still have AWFUL JOINTand BONE pain. I also still have the runny nose, and my vision is not the same.
I am not taking anything else that would still be causing this, as I am ER/PR-
My Onc. did tell me at my last appointment in June, that yes some people do still have the pain for many years after.
Sometimes the pain is bad, especially at night that Advil, Tylenol doesn't help.
I now can't Advil or Motrin anymore as I have GERD.
As to the finger swelling, I just had to have my wedding rings cut off as I couldn't get them off. I am having them resized. They were a size 5, and now the new size is going to be a size 7. SHEEZ !!!!
