Red face Re: what to take for mild pain relief

Hi Pam, I'm sorry you were unable to go home to your own home, but I guess you just glad to get our of the rehab. I know what you mean about Herceptin. It was my security blanket and I didn't want to go off of it. I had no choice because it was hard on my heart. How are you feeling as far a getting around? I'm glad to hear that this time was easier on you than the last surgery. Hope you are doing well and I am praying for you. Best wishes, Mary L
