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.

Feeling scared? All of the pink sisters will hold out their arms to hug you.
In otherwords, we get it, we understand, so, no need to lurk anymore. LOL
