Need some positive stories

Fantastic news about your scans Lara..yah for sure, it is such a relief and only those who have been on the 'waiting' list know this only to well. Your questions should be asked and answered without hesitation, keep on with them until you are satisfied. As for chemo....crap crap,,,,,  but it is different for everyone of course, I had a reasonable time with it, a bit of nausea and restless nights, coloured my nails purple with pink dots to protect them,  3 months down the track from chemo/herceptin they are still a bit soft. Take each day as a new one with positive horizons, accept help, don't feel guilty (easier said than done). You might feel funny tingles in all sorts of places as the drugs do their job, always check if yr unsure of what it might be....have themometer handy, tissues for a funny nose and tears, hand sanitizer and something to snuggle with (if it is not to hot over there). I made myself a fleecy rug which kept me company many a time. My heart goes out to you and your family as your start this new part of THE JOURNEY.   I noticed your mum is coming from Tassie,( what part?),  I am from Ridgley near Burnie in Tassie. All the very best for a comfortable chemo ride.
