Hi Nadine thanks very much for the info you sent and I hope your treatment is going ok and the first chemo was not too bad. I just had my meeting with the oncologist and have to have pretty similar treatment starting mid Jan doxetaxel and cyclophosphamide with herceptin followed by radiation not sure how much yet.
I wondered if you did anything to protect your hands and feet for neuropathy? I heard you can wear cold gloves but I'm not sure Ballarat has any. Someone told me you can make your own with frozen plastic gloves taken in an esky which sounds like it could work.
I hope you're managing to have some time with family and friends over this christmas break and I wish you all the very best for the next few months - you'll get through it.
warm wishes
