Re: Not ready

Good luck with the procedure and hoping for minimal pain. Please post on how it goes - we're always interested and it may help someone who will have to go through the same thing.

Re: Herceptin/Benadryl

My first benadryl before a treatment sent me into overdrive - I jumped up out of the chair after about 2 minutes following the dose. Then I paced back and forth as far as the IV tubes would let me...

Re: Should I take anti-oxidants prior to, during, and post treatment?

This is pretty standard and I'll bet Jackie will have the research to back up your onc's position. During chemo and for a while after it's always best to stay away from any supplements unless your...

Re: Ugh, Aflac Insurance woman brings tears.

Linn- it really is a grieving process. You have lost the person you were before bc and cancer takes so many things away from you. As hard as it is, it's normal and really does get better with...
