Re: Herceptin and chills/joint pain?
Hi Lettik,
Yes, it is working. On Feb. 25, I will be one year NED. I only take 750 mg of tykerb,(3 pills) and if the side effects get too bad, I will take a break for a awhile to let my digestive system get back to normal.
I have never tried accupuncture.
I hope the combo works for you.
Laurie
