Hi Gina, anbd thanks, I have never heard of 6 weekly Herceptin, does that mean you have 6 doses on the one day and over how long? I am working on my other shoulder theory now, the thickening in the neck, hard to swallow, neck pulling to the right and breathlessness to name a few. So glad when brain and MRI were quite good. My bone scan was free of mets but mentioned sternoclavicular joint so I looked it up on the net to see damage, symptoms and treatment, so what I thought has been mets to the neck and radiation damage may well be from the clicking in my so called good shoulder. I told my heart specialist and my onc and doc that I was short of breath and heart checked out brilliant and lungs clear so big chance this is what I have, but who is going to fix it, my Orthopaedic is in a large public hospital and I don't think he would appreciate me telling him what I think is wrong, he is always on the defensive when I see him, he was a victim of a hit and run a few years back, injured quite badly but he was outside the hospital when it happened and he had to plead his case to get back to work and surgery, so I think underneath he is an angry person who feels he is being judged. I am even going to see if my chiropractor is able to help but when I look up treatment it may be painful. I will keep in touch Gina.
