My last Herceptin was a year ago. And I feel so much stronger now. My nails are better, I can walk farther, I can walk up stairs without getting winded. Yes, it does get better. That said.....I still find it intriguing who gets what treatment plan. I did not have Herceptin until I was done with all the other drugs. Why do some people have Herceptin right along with Carboplatin and Taxotere? I have to admit that I did not have all that many pains while on Herceptin. Is that because I had Herceptin alone? A year after the end of Herceptin, my stamina is getting much better, even my memory is getting better. I do have one scary comment....a friend who did not have Herceptin, complained about a hip problem. This came one year after she was finished with Chemo and was on Tamoxifen......Okay, I know I should not say it....but her cancer was back. So I, too, can get the crazies in the middle of the night, even tho I am NED. Here's to all of us staying as well as possible.

Hugs, Catherine
