Diagonsed in August. I am here to tell you the time goes fast. I too got my port, bone scan, CT scan, mugaScan and then started 4 rounds of A/C. Are you going to have 3 weeks (or 2 weeks) between A/C treatments? I had surgery on 11/30 (lumpectomy and node removal) and just started 12 weeks of Taxol and herceptin yesterday. I am early in this game too but rememebr it all very well.

My best advice it to watch funny shows on T.V., take the help others want to give you (even if just makes them feel better) and if your not working during the treatment think about the days you feel great as extra vacation days. Even through all of this I have had some great vacation days.
