Re: AIs and depression

Thanks for your replies. I don't know about ovarian ablation, but I have been post-meno for about 5 or 6 years so I don't know if that would apply to me. As to Tamoxifen, because of a history of...

Re: Watery eyes and red eyelids-Herceptin?

My last chemo was 4 weeks ago. I am on Herceptin only. My eyes won't stop watering - they itch and hurt. They are crusty in the morning. I have not spoken to the onc about it yet as it just...

Re: nails falling off??

I have been on TCH since late April. Just finished. Nails have pealed and ripped, but I have kept the damage to a minimum by using a clear gel polish and keeping them very short. They have not...

Re: It might be possible to keep you hair during chemo

My onc said no astralagus or other antioxidants or supplements supporting the immune system. Websites promoting the product advertise that it is for use during chemotherapy and radiation. After...

Re: Completely off topic but can someone tell me

Just had my first TCH treatment today and one of my questions that I did not get answered was about peptide and retinol use. I have been using some anti-wrinkle products for several years and my...

Re: Bad MUGA scan might mean no herceptin?

Hey everyone,
The oncologist told me my MUGA results yesterday and the score was 70! All that worry for nothing! I surely have some leeway for any possible damage from the Herceptin. Thanks for...

Re: Herceptin - Bladder and/or sleep changes?

Karen - Why did you use navelbine with herceptin instead of the normal routine of TCH? Why did you refuse hormone therapy? Please explain your strategy and how you worked with your oncologist if...
