Thanks ladies for your encouragement and support - and its good to know I'm not the only one to have had some sort of reaction to these drugs!

I'm starting to feel a bit back to normal - as long as I can stay away from hospitals for a bit! lol! I do hope they maybe able to give me the herceptin - maybe more slowly etc but I guess I'll have to see what the Onc comes up with as the next step. I'm also getting a second opinion on treatment next week at one of the major teaching hospitals so I guess it will be good to get another perspective on things. I feel a bit relieved about that.

Thanks so much for being here and reaching out to help.

Blessings all
Hermiracles
