Thanks everyone for all your help. I asked the onc. yesterday and he said go ahead and take ibuprofin and okay to alternate with tylenol for awhile as needed. Or just take the ibuprofin. He said the bone growth issue with ibuprofin was contraversial.

I left rehab Thurs. but everyone in my house is sick with fever/cold/vomiting (son, dil, 2 grandkids) so I'm staying at my other son's for a couple days to hopefully avoid all that stuff.

I saw the onc. yesterday & he will start me on halaven on Monday. He will take me off herceptin for now to monitor how just the halaven does. He doesn't think herceptin is helping me now anyway. But he will add it back later if makes sense. Scary - herceptin is ,my security blanket -- but emotionally - i don't know what it's actually doing for me.
