Hi Brenda,

I also had TCH x 6, finished 7/08, then continued on H for a total now of 18 mos. I was diagnosed IBC with 2 IDC tumors (1cm & 2cm), Her2+, ER/PR-. I am currently NED. I also did not have surgery or radiation. My onc. says he will continue me on H indefintely. I do feel fatigue about 3 days after infusion, and joint pain mainly in my lower body. My nails also are affected with ridging. From what I have heard this is very common. My hair also has been slow to return and is not thickening as yet, also I believe a common complaint.

So keep the faith, you had the optimal chemo cocktail for Her2+ (non topol) locally advanced bc and IBC.
