I am double positive (Her2 and ER but PR negative). Like Sassy, I started on Arimidex after chemo and rads were over (continuing with Herceptin).

Oncs don't like to give the hormonal during the very active treatments of chemo or rads because the hormonal can slow the rate of growth of the cancer and thats what chemo and rads kill best (fast growing cells).

Best regards
