Every three weeks or every week for Herceptin
Hi everyone! Ever since I stopped chemo and started the q. 3 week herceptin, I am sore all over all the time. My muscles and joints are just killing me, especially my ankles, feet, etc. Some mornings Im so stiff and sore I feel like Im 90 years old, and Im still working so it is an issue. Does anyone else have this side effect? Do you think that possibly switching back to once a week herceptin might help? Im a wee bit frustrated because this makes working kind of difficult for me, but I need to keep my job for the insurance.
