Thanks Chris and Jackie for responding to my question! Most of my questions are answered well before they are even a question in my mind by all of the knowledgeable people on this site. Thank you!
My Muga Scan numbers have been great throughout my year and 1/2 on Herceptin. It will be interesting to see how I do with Tykerb in that respect as well as with the other side effects. I will be starting with 5 tablets a day. As someone recommended here (Flori?), I think I will start at 3 and work my way up to 5 over the course of the first week.
Jackie, Intensive LE therapy is Lymphedema therapy for a couple of months, wrapping 24/7. Not fun at all!
