I am a strong triple positive (er, pr her2) started herceptain November 05 - while on tomaxifen - off tomaxifen in Dec. 05 began lupron shots and arimidex - nasty joint aches espceially when I wake up in the morning - fingers elbows, knees, hips and soles of my feet - it sucks - but what is the alternative ? Hoping it will get better when doen with herceptain in November - was recently put down to 1 every three weeks - symptoms a little better but.... only supplments are citri cal, multi, cq10 and folic acid and E.
I was told to be very careful of the supplments such as flaxseed oil b/c stringly er positive
