Dear Tonya,

You just let it all out here kiddo, we are hear to listen to and support each other. It really is the pits our families have to take it all, especially the children. I know when I was first diagnosed I was frantic how the news would affect my daughters, 17 and 20 at the time.

I am praying that the Taxotere will knock our your skin mets - I had 3 rounds of Taxotere, and I was exhausted from it, as well as having other not pleasant s/es. But I just kept reminding myself that it must be kicking the cancer to the curb as well.

I am praying for you and your family.

all the best
caya
