Hello....

I just read your post and had to comment. Me and my hubby were just at the hospital where I received my chemo/herceptin (for a totally different reason this time - gall bladder) Anyway, we parked where we use to park when I had chemo treatments. As I got out of the car I said to my husband..."ohhh, I just had a flashback to when I use to come here for treatment. I remember when I'd get out of the car (after an hour drive to get their) and honestly, truly could hardly walk. OHHHHHHHHHH the stiff joints and overall pain I experienced) Now, (other than old age - I'm almost 51 ya know) the pain is all but gone!

I know it's easier said than done but PLEASE try not to worry. You do not have all over mets. You don't! Treatment will do that to you....not to mention the pschological effects of all you go through.

Praying God's peace to cover you......As time goes on, I guarantee your life will take on some sort of normalcy again.

Hugs....Mary Jo
