Herceptin
Yes I do get ache from the herceptin only 1 left to go. My onc said a lot of people complain about it. Small price to pay it is a wonderful drug it has only around for about 10 years, before that there was on other drug to treat us with HER2.I have been told it is the new miracle cancer drug. The aches do not last long hang in there! Good Luck.0 -

Aches
My muscles felt and still feel that way. I didn't take Herceptin but I had taxotere and carboplatin. Once I finished it chemo it has gotten better slowly. My legs especially feel like that. My arms are much better now. Going up and down stairs kills me some days. I have to put both feet on the same step, then move to the next one. Sometimes I have to pull on the handrail too. Keep the faith it does get better.

I am headed for my last treatment with herceptin next week. It gets better as you go.
Today I had my 28th consecutive week of Herceptin. The first 10 were combined with Taxol (and Zometa once every 4 weeks). Then I was on just H and Z for 15 weeks. Today was my 3rd week of adding Taxotere to the H & Z. All of these drugs are known to cause these aches and pains, so I keep very sore ribs and abdominal muscles all the time. My finger tips and toes are affected by a minor amount of neuropathy, but my legs aren't bad, other than the fact that they're not as strong as they used to be.
Good luck to you, I hope these problems pass quickly when you're finished.
