How many of us are taking some kind of medication for depression?
I just thought I would throw this into the mix because I believe it would be interesting to discuss. After I was diagnosed I began to have anxiety attacks and was prescribed a very low dose of Pristiq and the lowest does available of Wellbutrin. I have found that these two help keep me on an even keel and truly make a difference. I'm interested in seeing if others have used antidepressants
and if so, did you find them helpful?

Discussion with onc re adding Perjeta to the Herceptin as another way of preventing recurrence. Still in discussion phase. 12/26/14 Onc applying for approval for Perjeta.
Perjeta approved and I received one infusion. It had an immediate impact to my lungs and I experienced difficulty breathing so.....I'm going to be sticking with just Herceptin. Still looking for a good vaccine program to enroll in.
