Re: Need Help Undertstanding Herceptin Side Effects

Hello,
I will be finished with my Herceptin end of March, first of April...I also have experienced joint pain...mainly in my hands...in fact, at night when I pull up my covers, that is when my hands ache...kinda odd. I also have had a runny nose, along with my eyes twitching.
Lastly, kinda strange, my lashes will start to grow in...then, they will fall out, not all of them, but some. Not sure what is going on...I'm just thankful I'm alive and nearly done!!

Hang in there...we're all in this together!!
