Hi SuePer,
In Nov I had a bilat mastectomy and reconstruction with the DIEP flap which is similar to the TRAM, but spares the muscle. I also had TCH from Jan - May, 6 rounds. It was not fun, but manageable and tolerable. Let me know if I can be of any help. I am currently doing the herceptin part only, once every 3 wks and do not notice any sig side effects.
Take care.
Maryanne
