Re: Need input!
Hi Becky. Do you still take arimidex? I had to stop in November 2017 because of NHS funding....I live in the UK. I am asking because I am thinking of trying to start again if I can access it but Docs here tell me there is no evidence of any one in UK continuing beyond 10 yrs and no evidence of benefits for doing so..... I would gladly self fund if I could.
Also, could you let us know what supplements you take. You are my poster girl as you are one of the few on the board who has followed the UK protocol of herceptin after chemo!
very best wishes, Nancy

Hoping to start Herceptin within the next 2 weeks (we have to follow the HERA protocol to qualify for Herceptin in the U.K.) I worry about the delay in starting Herceptin!! Started 8/10/07
