My 40 pound didn't melt away, but I'm not working as hard at it as you ladies. I guess I have to bite the bullet and go to weight watchers, because I can't do it on my own. I stopped Herceptin in November 06. It took about 4-5 months before I felt I was emerging from treatment. I feel like my old self today, 8 months later. I'm not a patient person, but it was forced on me by treatment! I am a gardener, and am back to carrying 40 pound bags of mulch. (Since I don't have children, it's the closest I get to carrying a small child.) I have body aches due to Arimidex, but unless new studies say I can go off the med before 5 years, I will put up with the arthritic-like pain.
