I did have my last Herceptin treatment today. It is nice to have it behind me but if my oncologist would say let's do it for another year, I would be ready. I feel like I have lost my security blanket. I'm scared to death the cancer will come back.

I really think the Femara is causing my joint pain. I had been on Arimidex but switched to Femara five weeks ago due to the tremendous amount of knee, elbow, feet pain. I think Femara is worse. I think I will go back on the Arimidex. While taking the Femara I have noticed ankle swelling, bloating, weight gain, fatigue much more than when I was taking the Arimidex. Maybe it is the Herceptin.

I will keep you posted on how I feel in the next couple of weeks/months. Thank all of you for your prayers and support. I appreciate all the messages you have sent to me.
