Re: herceptin question

I found that glucosamine helped me. My pain was horrible while on herceptin but now I am doing pretty well. I am a year out of herceptin now and have very little pain. I have continued on the glucosamine since I am told the femara also causes joint pain. I also take calcium plus d and 5000mg of vit d. It has worked for me but everyone is different. Good luck to you.
