Anticipation

Hi Jenny
2 CHEMO left for me, i am so excited.  i started counting down when i got to 10 more to go.  i started on 3 months A/C Chemo and then 3 months Taxol.  A/C i had nausea, but pills helped.  Taxol has been better except for rashes and bleeding nose, but all of this is manageable.  Hair loss YES at the start, it is frightening when it happens, but after a few months I ditched the wig, cos it is hot and itchy.  I crochet and knit and sew, so l made lots of berets and chemo caps.  I thoroughly recommend chemo caps made in chiffon, so light and soft on your head, great for the predicted HOT summer.(YUK)    Am also HER+ and have had 4 Herceptin to date and then 9 months following.  Herceptin is supposed to be the "wonder drug".  so don't be worried about that.  My hair, it is growing back during Taxol, i look like a baby chicken at the moment; soft and fluffy.  It is silver.  i am excited at watching it grow and what it will become.  
Jenny can i say something also, throughout my journey (I actually got 18 lymph nodes removed, no cancer found elsewhere, but chemo for me was a precaution because it must be there somewhere) I have remained positive and strong.  This must count for more than 50% of the battle,  BE STRONG FOR YOURSELF, and I promise you the time will fly.  

GOOD luck.
