Melinda,
I started Arimidex, then stopped it when I started TCH. I resumed taking Arimidex again after my last tx of TCH. So now I am doing the 3 wk interval of herceptin and taking Arimidex daily. It has been 2 months now and I have not noticed any wt gain. All my other side effects are dissipating from the TCH. I do not notice any significant side effects from the herceptin and Arimidex (knock on wood)....
