Dear Gina,

Your recent replies are very informative, and thank you for taking the time to provide encouragement and so much information. I just have some questions and would appreciate if you could elaborate.

1. Should I discontinue taking Benadryl if I have a cold or alleriges? Is Allegra better?

2. Could you explain the negative Tylonol connection with HER2+++ and liver mets. I know that Tylenol can be hard on the liver, but I thought that was the case if you took too much of it.

3. What is the significance of A negative blood? I have it.

4. Herceptin alone is working for me right now. Can you explain why you only get it every 6 weeks? Could I go four weeks if I am away on vacation?

5. Could you explain your diet and/or exercise program?

You are very knowledgable about this disease and I would appreciate your feedback.

I am also having a great quality of life on Herceptin alone, and would like to continue for as long as possible. However, I have been on Herceptin for a year now, and am afraid that my days where it continues to work may be numbered. I want to do everything I can to prolong its effectiveness.

Thank you for your help.

Best,
Barbara H.
