Hi Debra
I am new at this and often times do not understand complicated articles and comments. But I am so thankful for this site and the "sisters" we have here.
I understand what you mean about not sleeping as you search the internet. It happens to all of us. Do what is comfortable for you. Sleep is so important. Often times I am like a roller coaster, up some days and down the next. When I'm down I concentrate on the many blessings I have. We are so fortunate to have Herceptin available to us and I'm thankful for that daily.
I am sorry you are finding it hard to advocate for yourself. Maybe others will have ideas on how to help with that.
Donna
