Question

Marily,
I am stunned he told you to go off Herceptin and Aromasin and get rid of of the pesky side effects and live your life. Were your side effects bad enough that they were interfering with your life? I am on Arimidex that makes every joint I have hurt. I am already finished with Herceptin. Just curious why he took you off your AI.
