Thank you Gina for your answer to this. My god I had no idea how ignorant of my own disease I was until I came onto this site. May I ask what are tumor markers and how do I find out what mine are?

I am currently on Herceptin every 3 weeks but find the side effects difficult. As I have said before I have had more bone pain on the Herceptin than I ever did on ac or taxol. I could do weekly herceptin and it sounds like that may help the side effects as well as be just as effective.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us on this site. I am learning so much here.
