Hi: My background is B/C in 2000. ER+ cancer in left breast. Bi-lateral masectomy and A/C, Taxol, radiation. DIEP reconstruction in 2002.

In 2009 recurrence in left reconstructed breast (ER+ and Hers2). Surgery again then chemo ACH/Herceptin till November 2009. Herceptin alone until April 2010 or maybe longer.

I've been reading your posts on nutrition. This is a great site. Does anyone have any experience with using melatonin? I'm having a terrible time sleeping since my breast cancer returned. Don't want to resort to sleeping pills. But, I've been taking Simply Sleep by Tylenol (it's benedryl). Any thoughts?
