Hello Herceptin ladies: I need to be honest about how I am feeling physically. I don't feel all that great. I am so tired, all of the time. I don't know if it is just winter and the notion that it's a good time to hibernate and store up fat like a bear, or, if this is something more serious. I finished radiation right before Thanksgiving. I am back at work full time. I do herceptin every week. And, I am exhausted. My mugga was right on the edge at 51% pre-herceptin. I'll have my follow up mugga in about 8 weeks. I don't know what normal is anymore. Will it take years, months for me to renew my energy? I report my symptoms to the doc every time and I do get arenesp shots every other week. But, gee whiz.
I am depressed, too. I take meds for that, but find that the reality of this last year is just now coming into focus and I don't like it. I have lympedema, too, and I sure don't like that. I know, I should be so glad to be alive, and I am, believe me. But, how do I find a place where I begin regaining strength, inside and out? Sorry to whine.
