Linda, femara...

can cause that too. I have experienced a lot of weird breast stuff depending on my hormonal situations e.g. chemopause and going on and off AI's. Just a thought.

Glad you posted this!

Linda,
I have had strange feelings in breast on and off nothing that lasts too long.
But all the same they are there and when ever we feel aches etc. in the breast it causes us to stop in our tracks.

It was interesting to read the posts here. I have been experiencing a lot
of itchy skin reaction to both breasts esp. after having herceptin treatment. I notice just about the 2nd or 3rd day it starts and lasts for a good 10 days.
Just when I start to feel normal - it is time for another herceptin treatment.

Regards,
Jean

Thank you all for your replys. I do feel better knowing that I am not alone. The pain has stopped now, and I am wondering if it is from the Herceptin or the Femara.

I am going to talk to my onc when I see her next, just to be sure. It seems that now that I am off the Herceptin, I think that every pain I have is the cancer coming back.

I need to live my life and not let this cancer overwhelm me. Thanks to you all.
