Hi Shell!
What a bummer! Your thoughts are with your girls and their care. Bless you!
I did really well with Carboplatin, Taxol, Herceptin - seemed to kill those nasty cancer cells well.
I'm going to picture you at the shore with your family finding some peace for a time and also finding your hope again. It's not easy to keep on keeping on, I know. But when I saw my onc last week, I told him that it seems to me that sometimes it's the little things done with small changes that make big differences.
May your doctors find extreme wisdom and may you find extreme peace and hope!
Lots of love to you, mary anne
