Hi I'm a 3rd timer with BC. This time diagnosed June with stage 3 HER2+. Had surgery and chemo now on 3 weekly injections of Herceptin & 6monthly bone infusions and letrozole daily. Side effects fluctuate from day to day, fatigue, achey fluey, fuzzy head, indigestion, dizziness. In between I'm fine, seem to have a surge of energy then droop. Anyone else have these meds and side effects. Best wishes everyone.

Hello Ruskin,

I just noticed whilst scrolling that you didn’t have any replies to your post.

I had / have the same treatment and had similar side effects but these all improved over time.

I’m still not the person I was but I’m definitely much more able to deal with these side effects now. Since it’s 4 months since your post, I hope you are feeling much better too? X

Thankyou Sadiedog, it's still not straightforward, treatment stopped this morning due to heart not behaving but I'm still determined to have as much preventative treatment as I can Best wishes. Pat

Hi Pat, I assume you are hormone positive too as you mentioned letrozole.

I am stage 3 hormone + only.

My experience is be active, even on mild activities, helps a lot with stiffness and pain
