Hi,
I'm on treatment #15 of 18 Herceptin. I got a recent dx of diabetes. I think it may be related to the steroids I had to take to tolerate the chemo, esp the taxotere. I have been loosing weight since the end of the chemo phase of treatment, I'm overweight, but have lost about 35 lbs so far. Anyone else had dx of diabetes after chemo?
