Hi @auOrei
I have exactly the same treatment and was warned by my oncologist that the Herceptin can drag the Taxol side effects with it for some time in some cases.
I have had the bone aches, especially in the hips and legs and it is more obvious resting in bed and trying to get to sleep.
I also have what he termed 'recall reaction' which is some AC symptoms return, particularly fatigue and some nausea. It's also thought to be caused by the Herceptin but rare.
The good news is, it is abating.

I have 2 more infusions to go and then upward.
Good luck.
