This is all very interesting and informative. I finish my herceptin in January and will check back to post any improvement I notice. It's hard for me to tell sometimes if my side effects are left from Taxol, such as my neuropathy. That continues to be a major block in my progress. I am fatigued but again, it has been so long - is it herceptin or chemo?? I stopped wearing my wig the beginning of October. Had my hair colored and just evened off. It has not grown one little bit like it would have in the "old days". It will be interesting to see if that changes when I am off Herceptin. Thanks to everyone!
