Re: Wanted to pop in and say HI

I agree. It is easy to let the negative thoughts take you over sometimes, and it is wonderful to hear about a stage IV sister in remission for six years! God bless you, and thank you for posting. It is inspirational that you have gone on and done things you love to do...

Re: Wanted to pop in and say HI

Thank you all, I really haven't had any bad side affects from being on Herceptin for 8 years, other than the sinus issues and headaches I have always gotten when taking it. My heart functions are still just fine. I was considering getting off it, but I don't want to mess with anything that is working. Not sure if it is still doing anything at all but, im not changing a thing right now. sherryg
