Hi -
I've been on Herceptin and Zometa (done with the chemo - hopefully forever!) for 19 months. (Zometa is now every 6 weeks instead of with the herceptin every 3 weeks.) I was so slammed from all the chemo that for a while I did not know what side effects were from what as I also took the herceptin with the chemo.
Now my joints have stopped killing me, my digestion is back to normal, and I am building up my stamina on a gentle exercise regimen.
I think the main ongoing complaint I have is LEG and FOOT CRAMPS. I take some quinine pills for that and it seems to help. I still feel a little tired, but my doc feels that is leftover from all the chemo I had back to back.
"Chemonesia" has subsided and I don't forget so many things. I will take this drug anytime over chemo!
