I'll be going to her home tomorrow, so we can get an early start on Friday. Hopefully, this is the last AC before she starts weekly Taxol and Herceptin. If anyone has any insights about the next regimen, please be in touch. It was helpful for us to know what to anticipate for the AC treatments. Her doc says that most tolerate the Taxol and Herceptin better than the AC, and we are surely hoping so....she had a tough time with the AC.

We've yet to figure out how I'll participate in the weekly schedule....I can't go back every week, so she may have some church friends accompany her, or her husband could take off a few hours early on Fridays. It will be hard for me not to be with her for treatments, but it's really the few days following treatments that I'm most concerned about. Did those of you who did 12 weekly taxols and herceptin need to have someone with you for the few days following treatment?

Thanks again, so very much, for being here. I'm always keeping you in my prayers.
