Hi everyone.
I have been reading the other threads regarding bone ache during herceptin.
I had terrible rib pain and back pain under taxol, but usually lasted two to three days and slowly came down till next treatment
Now that I am under herceptin alone every three weeks, I'm experiencing lots of the same. It's very scary because you normally default to bone mets.
I am trying yoga, walking and ibuprofen. sometime vicodent or ativan when pain is hard at end of day. I am also taking l glutamine and b complex for this. I rub flexall on joint aches, seems to help a little ( smell is quite powerful
)
After reading the other threads, I'm convinced that it is herceptin and will be writing a letter to Genentech to let them know. My onc, just like many others, doesn't know about this stuff yet to comment on this. Not everything is known about this now.
I did read on another thread about glucosamine and chronditin. Is this ok to take while on herceptin? How much is anyone out here taking it and did it work and how long till you saw improvement.
I hope you can give me some insight. Thanks to all
