I have just completed Herceptin treatment and also had terrible problems the last 3 injections left me in pain most of the time! Have faith that the drug is doing its job and is only temporary xxx

Today was my 3rd treatment of her cep tin and taxol. 9 more to go. I do feel aches sometimes in my hips and legs. No cramps yet. Try some tonic water with quinoa in it. You can find it at the store. It helps leg cramps. You can drink it plane with a lemon or ad ginger ale to it.

Nerve pain continues post herceptin, it comes and goes. Unfortunately. I use some meditation techniques and stretching. But herceptin does truly impact the body. I guess it's different for everyone. I did not fair well at all.
