Herceptin Protocol--Steriods Required? RAD ?, too!
Hey!
I wanted to post this separately, as it might be lost in my longer post! When I finish chemo and go to Herceptin ever three weeks, so I still have to take the steriods? Please, please, please someone tell me NO!
Also, has anyone taken a break between chemo and radiation? I just want a little bit to feel better...
Hugs,
Krista
