Had my Herceptin/Zometa infusion
yesterday. (Flu shot too.) My regular chemo nurse wasn't there darn it, so I had some new one that seemed so unsure of herself...kind of worried me. She kept jabbing at me till I had her get the head nurse that got me set-up in one try. But we got it in my hand and I managed to get my loading dose of Hercepting & Zometa.
I felt very tired after that yesterday...extremely. But came home to rest. But the strange thing is I woke up this morning around 5:30 AM and I was shaking and shivering...my teeth were actually chattering. I could not get warm and just layed there under my blankets freezing for two hours till I had to get up. I'm fine now..but don't know if it was from the Herceptin or Zometa...maybe the combination of? Anyone else ever had this problem?
Also I'm having extreme lower and upper back pain. It's just killing me! I've taken my pain pills and it hasn't helped at all. Is this from the Zometa I will assume? If so...will it go away soon...I can't take it. I'm so misrable right now.
