Re: herceptin question
Does your treatment facility offer acupuncture? I received ear acupuncture on a weekly basis and it got rid of the aches.
Can you get anyone to give you a nice massage? Or find a professional massage therapist. Swedish massage would feel lovely, help alleviate the aches and restlessness.
Have you tried meditation - maybe one with just a focus on your breathing and a simple phrase like "I feel peaceful" or "I feel calm" or pick something that appeals to you. Try it for 5 to 15 minutes.
A physician recommend resetting a stress reaction by breathing in slowly for a count of 4, holding the breath for a count of 2 - then slowly breathe out. Repeat 8 times.
