Mary Jo -

Good to hear you are feeling back to normal! You and I have a very similiar diagnosis. My lgst tumor was almost 4 cm as well and sentinal node had microscopic CA cells.
We are about 6 months apart in treatment so I am 6 months post-herceptin right now. My weight hasn't dropped but it has stopped "going up". I still notice puffy ankles though and hoping that goes away soon.

It is just nice to hear someone say, "I am starting to feel normal again". Sometimes I wonder if that will ever be or if I need to adjust to a "new normal"!
