I am late in joining this relevant discussion; but to add another two cents...2 of my docs did not think is was the Herceptin causing the aches and joint pain; but they both thought is was the lack of hormones (estrogen/progesterin) that used to constantly bathe our joints. Without it, we will feel aches and pains. Four months ago, I started taking glucosomine and chondroitin each day, all of my aches and pains disappeared within 7 - 10 days. Now I swear by it.
