Hi Tany
Thats interesting. I finished hercepton 12/3/15. I am still having dizzy spells, mild nausea balance generally a bit wonky. 'Honestly I can't remember if it started during chemo/herc or after. This is still continuing - with ear pain (spasmodic). (Onc thought I may of damaged my ears during chemo, had scan of brain and all seems fine ) I also had a rash after the last two doses and then this rash came back after the surgery to remove port. - red eyelids, face, neck and breast. This rash stirs everything up - the dizziness, my new thyroid prob, the radiation area burns like I've just had radiation (specially that bone at the base of neck), my boob gets red, my bones ache, sometimes feel the neuropathy gets worse (not sure) and the bloody tiredness etc etc. Takes a couple of months to settle again. Am hoping it won't happen again!!! Also my skin/ hair/NOSE is so dry and I am reacting to creams Ive used for years. And I continue to drink a lot - am so thirsty (No diabetes) Know I should get checked out by a doc but honestly everything still feels so shit and I don't know where to start. Onc will have a list of questions next appt. Hopefully it will go away.
