Hi
interesting as I have similar symptoms. I stopped Chemo in November but I am on Herceptin until August & yes I do get diarrhoea still mainly in the morning. I haven't thought much about it being related to Herceptin but it is certainly possible. I suppose I put it down to the Dosataxil as I still have so many side effect left. I also have terribly painful joints & totally numb feet from the peripheral neuropathy which does not seem to be improving at all. I have 2 more Radium sessions left as well. Can't wait until that is finished as well!
I too would be interested in some of your suggestions Beryl ie parabens , toxins etc.
