Same here. I was diagnosed in Jan. of 2004. Treated with lumpectomy, rads, zoladex and arimidex. Still clear. Vit H was not approved in the adjuvant setting and when I had my checkup last Oct. my doc told me he probably wouldn't give me Herceptin now if I were newly diagnosed. He thinks the side effects are potentially worse than the improvement I could obtain, riskwise.
