Sue and Kevin,

I sympathize with what Sue has/is going through. When I was on A/C I too was plaqued with the mouth sores and my red/white blood counts dropping out. I was getting the Neulasta shots and Procrit shots. I didn't have Taxol but did have Taxatere. I had severe bone/joint pain with Taxatere and also my counts continued to drop. I was so thankful when I finally finshed my last treatment. There were times when all I did was cry and say I can't go through this anymore. I'm almost finished with my year of Herceptin. My red count still drops and I still get Procrit shots. Last week when I had my treatment it was the first time that I did not require a shot -- my counts were all good. After all that Sue has been through when she starts the Herceptin only it should be a breeze! It's amazing what the human body is capable of withstanding. Hang in there, it will get better I promise.
