Lizbeth, It's funny you posted today because I have been thinking about you. I was going to send you a PM to see how you were doing?
I am so glad you went ahead and got that last taxotere out of the way. Don't worry girl...I really believe in time that neuropathy you were concerned about will go away! I can almost promise you it will.
I'm thrilled to hear you finished your last infusion. That is all behind you now and you will start feeling so much better in no time. The herceptin will be a piece of cake for you in comparison to chemo. I knew you could do it. You go girl!!!
Let us know what color your hair grows back in...that's always fun.  Mine came in darker and full of curls which I had never had. Hilarious. Anyway...BIG CONGRATULATIONS Liz...go out and celebrate.
Chelee
