hi Kelly, I didn't feel as bad as you at all but... I can relate to feeling lousy. My reaction to Taxol was so bad I decided it wasn't worth it to me. Didn't you say that your Onc was open to giving you Tykerb? Maybe it would be a good alternative therapy - just a thought. I ache now AFTER the herceptin therapy is over and all I can point to is the Femara. But it really isn't bad enough to stop treatment. I just wonder what it is attributable to... is it a delayed response or who knows really? We have so much going on! Feeling good is important to life - especially for a young mom like yourself. Don't settle if there is another path you can take.
