Hermiracles,
Your little ones are just adorable. They are lucky to have such a strong Mom. I have wanted to send you a post and now is the time.
I just had tumor markers run because I have two fractured ribs. Probably from radiation. I'll have another CT in Jan. I had no idea how to read the tests, my onc just told me they were in the normal range. Joe sent me a site that gives details. I am sure it will help you. Here it is http://her2support.org/tests/tm.htm
I know you are very anxious to start the Herceptin and Taxotere. I am not a patient person. I don't think afew days will make a huge difference. Just find peace in knowing soon you will be kicking that cancer in the butt!
Give those sweet babies a huge from a Grandma (my grandson named me BeBe ) in the States. I wish you well and you will be in my prayers.
Donna
