Funny you should mention compromised immune system. I just got my flu shot this morning and wondered if I would have a stronger reaction this year. So far I'm fine. My last Herceptin was November 2006, and I am just starting to feel strong again. Also, during treatment I had two painful ankle strains/sprains and three hairline fractures in my feet/toe, plus hairline fractures to my ribs. I ended up at the beach with a wrapped ankle and on a cruise with a broken toe. I haven't broken/strained anything for six months. It got better for me, thankfully.
