This is a subject that really concerns and effects me. 65 yr old post menaposal her2+ with a 2.7 cm tumor 3 affected lymph nodes. Finished neo adjuvant chemo, lumpectomy, radiation more chemo. I have a preexisting condition of needing a double hip replacement so severe I'm wheelchair bound till I hope to get surgery. I just had the infusion of hydronic acid treatment. Have refused any hormone treatment as the severe muscle joint pain as a side effect. Is intolerable. Any advice is sure welcomed bet there is others like me.
