I am on Herceptin, Arimidex and fish oil but I do not have advanced/metastatic disease. I am Stage 2. I have been on Herceptin since mid June, 2005 and Arimidex since Sept 05. I will be on the combination until the end of September, 2006. I have taken fish oil before bc but only one 1g capsule a day. When diagnosed, I upped it to 3 per day and now I am on 5 per day (plus one flaxseed oil capsule as well).
Therefore, I am hoping this combination will reduce my chance of recurrence. After September, I will continue with the Arimidex for 4 additional years. At my next visit, my onco is going to run my estradiol levels to see how well (or if) the Arimidex is working. I will post that on this board. More importantly, if it is not working, I will post what my doc will be doing next (he is the best) so that will be important info. I got my ovaries removed in order to use the Arimidex.
Kind regards
Becky
