That's great news Lolly! I know I was so happy when my insurance finally started paying for my herceptin treatments. I had to threaten getting a lawyer after 6 mos. and when I did that, they started paying for them. They even had to pay the oncologist interest. I agree exercise does help with the fatigue. I walk, do yoga, pilates and lift light weights. This has helped alot with the fatigue. It also helps to build your immunity. Best of luck to everyone!
