Sassy, I had posted a few days ago regarding pain with Herceptin and several other Herceptin patients (as well as myself) do have pain in the surgical areas once they started Herceptin. Pain in the surgical area is a Herceptin side effect. I have jabbing pains in the surgical area and the pain only started when I began the Herceptin. Sometimes I have to look at my breast to make sure there isn't a thorn in my bra!
I know a lumpectomy is nothing compared to the mastectomy, but my excised area is more painful now than when I had my lumpectomy in Sept '04. Lets just say, I hardly felt the lumpectomy.
This may not help you with your current pain dilemma, but Herceptin may contribute to the problem as well as what your surgeon says is nerve damage. I get Herceptin every 3 weeks... You?
