Thank you @Kiwi Angel, @Finch, and @kmakm for your warm and generous welcome!
Great to know that several of you have just begun the chemo trip and we will be forging ahead together :-) all the quicker to get to that finish line. Every time I get to end of one event another appears - wt??!! I'm vainly trying to learn the art of patience.....

Well done @kmakm for finishing - woohoo! and thanks for the heads up about TC chemo - i will do a search and learn much more.
I am very thankful that there are only 4 cycles and once I manage the first cycle I am sure I will feel much better - once more it is the unknowns.
I appreciate all of your generosity and warmth and even tho I would prefer not to be part of this group I couldn't imagine a better lot to be with!!!
