Thanks Becky. I sometimes feel like I've opened a pandora's box! I do need to get to the bottom of this. I don't want to be arbitrarily pulled off herceptin either. I will certainly make sure my onc. speaks to Genentech. In the meantime I'm a couch potato until they figure out what's going on. I really enjoy my runs so it's not going to be easy!

Thanks for your support and encouragement!
