Re: An Old Warrior faces new battles
Tricia, I had navelbine with herceptin, but I do believe that from my experience you can do it alone and do well. Perhaps, it could be a treatment by treatment decision with lots of supervision on that first time. I am so excited for you to experience your Hawaii trip! WOW! What a great adventure for you and your gang. I just love your determination to go! Whatever you decide, I'm pulling for ya and that journey to Hawaii! Much love and God bless you for all you give to each of us, ma
