Down to my last Herceptin treatment for cancer. Made it through chemo and radiation while continuing to teach, but I feel in worse pain now due to nerve, muscle, and joint pain. Anybody else with this experience and advice? It's really wearing me out.

    I did find that pain was an issue. For me working myself into an exercise program helped. It seems the more I move the less I hurt. I try to walk most every day and go to the gym 2-3 times a week and workout with weights. Also, I get massages about once a month. These are not the feel good massages of a spa... but deep muscle massages (I have a Chriropractor who does mine). They have greatly relieved my pain that was on my surgical side. Don't know if they will help for you ... but it might be worth a try.

    Take care... God Bless...
