Herceptin Side Effects

Hi @DebsSA  - tomorrow I have Herceptin infusion 108 and I also take Exemestane (oestrogen blocker). I have learned to accept that my body has some weird side effects, they come and go, such as aches and pains, headaches, irritable eyes, extremely tender feet which make walking a real challenge, and fatigue has become my constant companion. My GP hears me but it comes down to 'take Panadol'. I use Voltaren for my feet but very cautiously, for example, 50mgs the night before an appointment. In the beginning I felt a bit fobbed off or abandoned by my oncologist, but a friend reminded me that their focus is to 'keep you alive' and suggested that I get on with finding my own way to ease the side effects. I used crystalised ginger for bouts of nausea and mint leaves from the garden when I had altered taste. I have found this forum to be the most reliable and informative.
