HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - Starting WBR tomorrow...nervous & scared

Hi Jessica,

I'm adding my prayers and healing thoughts to the list. Take each day/minute at a time, be gentle to yourself, and act like a Jedi with the force helping the radiation kill those invaders once and from all.

May the force be with you!

Marcia
