Couldn't access your profile. Are you ER+ are you getting antihormonal therapy, are you postmenopausal, have you had your ovaries out?

The effects of chemo are long term and may have thrown you into premature menopause. Estogen deprivation can be hard on the joints and that may not improve for that reason after herceptin is stopped.

Knowing all these other factors helps one put together a picture of how people do on and off of herceptin to help guide others.

Let's see if others "pipe in"!
