As you can see by my 'signature' I finished chemo in Oct. 05 and Herceptin in Oct. 06. I am still taking arimidex...my 5 years of that will be up in Oct. 2010...lingering stuff that I notice...I do have some cognitive issues that are gradually improving, mostly word recall-especially if I am agitated! And then when I can't recall the word, I get more agitated...I have alot of joint aches, mostly knees and thumbs now but they seem to move from joint to joint. Again, much less severe than when I first started. I still get nosebleeds( which started when I began Herceptin), went to my reg doctor last month after a particularly bad one because I was sure I had something dreadful, and she did a full battery of bloodwork and turned up nothing! I hate worrying about every little ache and pain and wish there were some magic scan that I could have once a month that would look at everything and reassure me!!!
