Hi Esther and Hope,

Thanks for your nices messages. I live in Newport Beach in Orange County and had my surgery and treatment at UC Irvine. Esther, what you said about the chest x-rays seems in line with what my med.-onc. was planning to do on my first visit with her post-chemo next month. I think she'll start there to see if further examination needs to be done. I've heard that chemo can cause some coughing and another woman I met at the infusion center had similar coughing jags her husband said.

It's nice to be a part of such a strong, supportive group.

To our health (and that it gets better and better with each new day),

Vicki
