Hi Debbie,

Good to hear from you! Your signature is inspiring--five years NED on just Herceptin is awesome.

I'm someone who needs "Herceptin Plus" something else. Luckily, I have no problem with Perjeta other than diarrhea, which is just my "new normal." (Although I do think I get worse diarrhea in conjunction with toxic exposures). I hope my next scan will show I'm NED, and I can fall back to just H&P to maintain that status.

Lungs are tricky to monitor and diagnose. Breathing problems can have a lot of causes, some of which might have synergistic effects. I think it has been helpful for me to use a HEPA filter air purifier in my bedroom. I got one that is not only Energy Star Certified and able to filter out mold, pollen, and all manner of volatile organic compounds, but is also rather beautiful. It wasn't cheap but I'm glad I got it.
