Okay, I found myself looking down there, and "it" is still intact!! LOL. Okay, I did have the rabbit but it got thrown away somehow thru my divorce!! Now, I have heard about the "Wand", and heard it was pretty awesome!!

I am just wondering would insurance cover this you think?? LOL

On a serious note I take tamox and had herceptin Wednesday. By Friday in the middle of night and Saturday I was drenched in sweat and was chilling. This went on all day and night. I mean my hair, my body was just dripping wet. Last night just a few episodes where the sweating woke me up and then dried myself up.

I think I was a little dehyrated the time I woke up this Monday morning. I have had hot flashes during all of this but it seems the last couple of herceptin's for a couple days the sweating is intense. Does anyone else have that?? Is it Tamox or Herceptin??
