Re: Herceptin/Benadryl

Thank you wonderful women for your support...knowing I'm NOT alone!!

Joni, I have to say, what a a "visual" you gave me!!! WOW!!

Lizbeth, so, Tachycardia & high BP...I DO NOT like that...and it happened...so VERY thankful I had a compassionate nurse by my side, who didn't think I was having a "panic attack!!"
Will be having an echo tomorrow...JUST to make sure all is "beating" well!!

Janis, I was getting solo Herceptin...now we've decided to drive an hour away, which is MUCH better care...however, my treatment changes to the "full TCH"...I guess I'll have to see how my body reacts...4 more treatments to go...

I'll make it...I WILL DO THIS!!!! I AM DOING IT!!!!
