i just read your note. i am now down to only herceptin every 3 weeks thru april 2007. stage IIb 4 rounds a/c, 9 of 12 round of taxol/herceptin (stopped because of neuropathy in my feet), 33 rounds of radiation. i have been wondering about seeing the dietician now that i am done with the bulk of treatment. my oncologist has only suggested upping my protein intake since beginning but i don't know if i still need to or cut back to more vegetarian. we live in texas and this a big beef community so if would take quite a bit of adjustment to cut it all out. thanks for your input. this makes my decision much easier.
