I'm 44 and before chemo was very regular. During chemo (9 weeks) and then almost like clockwork about a week after I stopped the chemo a month a go, it returned. I've only had one cycle, but was normal and hoping that it is back to stay for a few more years.

I have decided (almost completely) not to do the hormone therapy as I have read that in studies that Her-2 is resistent to Hormone therapy, so I am not wanting to risk the side effects of yet another drug but starting this.

Hope this helps you - Karen
