Plan seem reasonable
Welcome!
Looks like you got ahead of the game with the TWO differing types of tumors to deal with at once.
Seems like your med onc is doing the reasonable thing in treating you with both Herceptin and hormone suppressor.
One thing that you did not tell us is the "grade" of your tumors. If these are high grade or not, it may not matter. But if one is likely to be more aggressive than the other then that is another consideration.
The Herceptin will be very benign stuff compared to what you have had, and since it does not attack any other kind of cells, you will get a chance to recoup from all you have endured.
Hormone suppressors can have some side effects, so ask about those and why he wants you to have Arimidex over another choice.
This may seem like a lot to take in - but you seem to be progressing through the adjuvent therapy nicely.
Hope your kids are letting you get some sleep at night!
