Thanks for the words of encouragement
I started herceptin 3 weeks ago and am also on Taxol. I have been in pain and have neuropathy (got it from AC too after onc said it was impossible). Anyway, all the news from all of you is encouraging. I pray each day the Lord heals me. They are doing chemo before surgury and all are surprised how much shrinkage has been achieved thus far. I have 8 more treatments then surgery and radiation. It is scary having this tumors still in me, but all agreed that the size of my tumor dictated this course (along with lymph node involvement)
