Welcome to our club. Sorry you had to join, but none of us are here by choice. This is a wonderful site full of women like yourself with a wealth of knowledge and compassion. I took the A/C and taxol and now am on herceptin and aromasin ( switched from arimidex due to joint pain). I can say I have had no side effects from the herceptin except maybe fatigue, but I am still working and going with my daily activities. I will finish in Jan. 2008. As you can see from my bio I was diagnoised about a year ago and even though I thought it was a long year, it has flown by, treatments and all. Best of luck to you on your journey and again welcome.
