Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Has anyone experienced side effects with IV Herceptin treatments? I have finished 8 rounds of chemo and am currently having radiation. In addition I have these treatments every 3 weeks at the oncology office and I have noticed a BIG change in my emotions whenever I get this. Also, I have major pain in my bones and joints. They said this would happen, but is there any relief?? These treatments are supposed to continue for a year...sometimes it feels that the side effects of the cure is the worst part of having cancer! Thanks. ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
