Does the idea of finishing active treatment mean you’re one tomaxafin as Well?  I just finished herceptin and honestly my body is still hurting. Does the aches go away? Every time I get going on a good stretch to get healthy lose weight and have energy something happens to set me back. either pneumonia ,  infection now apparently arthritis .  I can’t run 50 feet without getting winded. I wheeze all the time. this is driving me nuts. I’m worse now then before treatment .  I just want to give up.
