Don't despair, there are other options in chemo if that particular lot don't seem to be quite right for you and you are a far cry from succumbing to this disease yet. They will keep a close eye on everything for you. You just keep on rising above it and hang in there. Somehow we all do. Sending lots of cyber hugz. xxxxxx000xx
