Herceptin/Cancer/Paranoia/Aches and Pains
Am I crazy or selfish or paranoid? My last Herceptin is on Dec 19. Then all my treatment is over. I will start seeing my Oncologist every 4 months. He really is wonderful. He will do blood tests and talk with me. He says he finds that patients know their bodies and he wants me to advise him of anything that does not feel right. Mugas are fine.
In general I have done well on Herceptin. But right now, my whole body hurts. I thought maybe I was getting some achey flu. This has been going on for 4 days. I have been stretching twice a day. The aches seem worse in the morning and worse at night. I am 59. Is this age and maybe familia arthritis? Or am I starting to get paranoid about the Herceptin. I almost do not want to get my last treatment.
Thanks for listening, Catherine
