    Hi simplygrace,

    Welcome. My treatment for stage II ductal carcinoma, with no positive nodes, included a lumpectomy, followed by chemo Taxotere, Carboplatin, and Herceptin. After I was done with Taxotere and carbo for 6 months, I cont with Herceptin for 6 more months, and followed by 6 wks of Radiation. My hair did start to come in and continued to grow thru Herceptin. I did cont to have fatigue and body aches which 5 months after I finished Herceptin I still feel tired and get body aches, but at least they are not as bad. Hope we are all a great help to you our sister in Pink.
