Hi Cindy
Hope you got some things sorted out with your onc? That waiting, is the worst. I found the anticipation of everything was actually worse, than when you got into it. I am just out the other side of chemo now, but will continue to take Herceptin ongoing every 3 weeks. After about 9 weeks I now have some soft peach fuzz hair growing, which is very exciting!
Keep strong Cindi, and remember to drink lots of water with your treatment, to help with the i.v. before, and to flush the toxins out after. Whilst on chemo, normal tap water tasted revolting to me, so I had to buy bottled water, but that is back to normal agin now.
Let us know how you get on..'
