I have had joint pain upon first standing up and waking up in the morning. Knees and ankles are the most noticable. Once I get moving I feel fine. I called the Onc's office and the phone nurse promptly asked if I had had Taxol in my chemo regime. Taxotere was the drug I was given, Taxol's cousin. My last "big" chemo was April 4th and it's worse now. I never moticed joint pain while undergoing chemo. The nurse told me it's a lingering side effect and should get better. Now I wonder if it is in fact the Herceptin. I just had my first 3-weekly (almost) triple dose on June 20th. I am calling the nurse again tomorrow.
I wake with swollen hands, haven't noticed swollen ankles but will keep checking.
MUGA scan tomorrow. It'll be my third. Praying for high numbers.
