Karen,

I have been on herception for 5 years and I have talked to many women about this. Yes, it does slow down your hair growth and my hair is not as thick either. However, Denny is right and good diet and exercise will help!

Ladies,
Thank you for sharing the pictures. It looked like you all had a great time.
Irene, I live just north of Imlay City (about 10 minutes) so that would be great but I can drive with no problem. I will keep an eye on this site now and hope to met all you ladies soon.

Hi all,
Just found this site last week so wanted to give my bio. I was first diagnosed at age 34 with in situ ductal ca. Had a left masectomy and reconstruction with saline. 9 1/2 years later, I kept having mid chest pain and they were treating me for inflammed cartridge between my ribs and sternum for over 6 months. Then I found a lump in my neck. Immediately had a biospy only to find more cancer. After the bone scans and cat scans, we found out it was mets to bones including the sternum, ribs, spine, hips, scapula and left humerus.
I use to do Radiation Therapy so I made out my will! I had taxatere, herception and zometa for 12 straight months every week with herception then every 3 weeks with taxatere. Plus radiation to my chest and back for six weeks. Man was I sick. My son was graduating in June when we found out in January and I prayed everyday to make it to his graduation.

I just had my FOUR year anniversary and I just met my son's girlfriend (pretty serious!) from college. I could go on and on but I guess my point is, Never give up! They are coming out every day with new mediation. I know some of us are in clinical trails so we seem like the little lab mice but if it will save one more life down the road, what do we have to lose! Hang in there ladies and God bless.
