Thank you everyone for responding to my thread. It makes me feel a whole lot better. I was beginning to get a little concerned like possibly the worst is yet to come. I think I will do just fine. It will be very interesting to see how I feel with the TCH finished. I tell you though, on the days when I get herceptin alone, I feel very normal. Your responses have surely made me more relaxed. Thank you so much.
Harrie
