Hi Celina,
First tell your sister to hang in there and to think of the aches and pain as her inflammatory response giving the cancer hell!
I have been on Navelbine and herceptin weekly since April for mets to the lungs. Aches and pains were common, but handled with tylenol. Procrit helped with the washed out feeling when my blood counts were low. Sometimes if I was fighting a bug I would get the shakes and chills; but again, Tylenol worked pretty well.
Tell your sister to be strong; how lucky she is to have you.
Hugs and Blessings,
mamacze (kim from cT)
