I was on herceptain 11/05 to 11/1/06 and was misserable - exstatic to report - most of the stymptoms - aches, pains, ADD . stiffness, runny nose etc.. have pretty much abated. It is the weight gain that has not - could be attributed to the lupron shots I have beentaking since 11/05 along with the arimidex - up 12 pounds and depperately trying to loose - every doc says it is a side effect of forced menapaus .. I'll deal ith it if thats all.
Had digital mamo in december all clear- MRI scheduled for June - keeping my fingers crossed.
