Bad Pet Results - Questions!

[BethSh]

I just finished 12 Taxol and Herceptin and tolerated both very well. Some leg aches, tingling and near the end some numbness in my hands. I didn't like the steroids because it messed up sleep for the first 2 days.

The weird part is that since finishing the Taxol my legs aches have gotten much worse. It's been 3 weeks and I moan and groan every time I get up. Luckily after moving abit the aches go away.

Take care,
Beth

Thanks for all of the feedback. I saw my onc today and he was pretty optimistic. I will start weekly Taxol along with Herceptin on Wednesday. He seems to think this will get the mets. He will have me do this for two months and do another scan to see how I am doing. He says since I did well on Taxol before he thinks I should do ok again. If this doesn't work he will see what else I can take but he made me feel much better about the outcome.

Thanks again

Stephanie
