Re: comparing AI'S

Yes, however I have already done the chemo and am nearing (2 months) away from finishing Herceptin. I have to read up on the Metformin (don't know anything about it) but will do that reading and look into it.
You seem to be really savvy on combining treatments - thank you so much for posting here and sharing your findings.

I am doing lots holistically - so I am counting heavily on that to keep me from having the Her2 express again. Thankfully I was stage 1 and I found it early. Thank god the lump hurt - if not I would have been in a lot worse shape - as I would have had a hard time finding it - the mamogram probably wouldn't have caught it - as the dr. of x-rays here said it was in a bad spot and he had to work really hard to get a photo of the little bugger!

Thanks again! Your mom is lucky to have you on her team!!!!
