Re: Herceptin - Bladder and/or sleep changes?
Wow - okay - good advise all! I just got back from being on vacation at the sea (my reward for finishing radiation!) but the docs found a bladder infection (slight) and I did antibotics for these last two weeks ... not feeling much better - but need not now ask the docs to do these scans and also test my kidneys after I saw Dianne's thread on kidney numbers declining....
UGH! I'll keep you guys up to date. But I still sleep for "CRAP!" and it is because I wake up every hour or two and never seem to get REM sleep .... so I feel tired all the time, even when I do sleep more than 2-3 hours I dream all kinds of weird stuff ---ugh! I again, wake up exhausted and just thinking - why can't I just sleep --- like the old days!???!?!!!!
