Re: Leg muscles aching
I know it is hard, but give yourself time to recover. I assume you are still receiving Herceptin so it will be a while before you feel somewhat "normal" again. While going through treatment I read in a book that it takes the same amount of time to recover from treatment as it does to go through it. That made sense to me and helped put things into perspective. For me, that was a little more than a year (including Herceptin alone). Of course, we are all different - some will recover a lot quicker and some may take a little longer. Do as much as you can to build your strength back up, but give your body the time it needs to rebuild.
Best of luck to you!
