Smile First Chemo:)

Well the great news was no brain cancer and I was eligible for the MA31 trial, the random selection puts me in the Chemo Docetaxel & target drug Lapatinib . Today was my first CHEMO and I feel fine(fingers crossed it stays that way)
I was told my hair will fall out in 7-10 days...I look fabulous in hats!! ha!I guess that is lol in this language...
All the other symptoms are not so easy but hey it looks like I'm not the first....and many a brave , strong ,smart & beautiful..hey wait that is our hiking mantra..ha! ( and there is a story behind those words...)
Seriously my heart is so happy to be able to read others stories that have been to the moon and back and are here sharing their stories
with open minds, compassion and HOPE
THANK YOU to each and everyone that responds and shares
Love Jan
