New Here - Starting Herceptin next week
Hi All...been lurking on this board for many months and am amazed at the knowledgeable members.
I'm starting Herceptin next week...little scared for some reason. Completed 4 A/C (no taxol as at that time onc said Herceptin is the magic bullet and would be too toxic for me). Oh well, what's done is done. Will also finish radiation next week and start tamoxifen. If periods return (I'm 41, will do ovarian supression). Is my understanding correct that A.I.'s are better for the triple positives? I'm planning on discussion that with the onc more on Friday.
I'm just nervous about the herceptin as A/C was extremely hard on me. I understand this is not chemo but still nervous about this 4 hour infusion.
Any input or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Susan
