Hi Judy,

Did your recurrence happen on Herceptin? Did you have Herceptin when you were Stage 1?

I was stage 1 and had a recurrence noticed during my last month of Herceptin. I am now doing rads and will then do Taxol + Herceptin. The doctors think even though my recurrence happened on Herceptin there may be synergy when given with Taxol. So I'll end up with 1yr 3mos. worth of Herceptin

I had joint pain that is improved because of Glucosamine & Chroniditin. Also had elevated blood pressure that seems to be going down. Maybe exercising again is helping.
