Re: Cancer is back...I just knew it.

Chelee, I know you are understandably upset. But Herceptin is a targeted therapy not a chemotherapy. It won't damage your veins like chemo does.

You'll be okay with one treatment without a port, so don't worry about that one.

I hope that you get good news with your heart's LVEF. You deserve some good news and I'll be praying that you receive it.

We are here for you,
