Question?

Anyone taking tomoxifin and Herceptin? Any different reactions with tomoxifin?


Thanks

Hey John

If you remember it is hubby who has stage IV HER2+ Inflammatory BC. The Tamoxifen has given him some hot flashes, but for the most part he does not complain about much. Never did. The Herceptin has given him some hearing loss, but he did go into this with a slight loss. The nurses here have done their own surveys/studies and asked us if HE had hearing loss more from the Herceptin. Ahh...Yahh!! LOL!

I was. Not sure what you mean by different. Tamox hot flashes aren't as bad as AC hot flashes. H, Tamox and I got along pretty well. Doing Arimidex solo now. Makes my bones feel a little creaky, but can live with that. Bev
