Becky,
Thanks for the info. And, no you haven't over-stepped your bounds. As you know, I'm seriously considering a break from Herceptin but haven't made up my mind yet. I finish my rads next Friday and maybe I'll feel differently after that's completed. I'm just at a point where I want to feel like a "normal" person. I initially tried the 3 week Herceptin and had serious problems with it and that's why I went to every week. Through all my other treatments I did really well with very few side effects. It seems that Herceptin and I just do not get along together.
