Dawn;
I remember so many times feeling just as you do....more earlier on than now so it seems we get used to our new lives. When I went for my last herceptin treatment I was put in the same chair (near the door) as I had during my very first chemo treatment. I remember how very difficult it was for me to just go through the door the first time but now I am very relaxed and unaffected by it all. Whenever I felt the way you do right now I had a friend I met at one of the support groups who I would call. She wasn't a close friend but somehow she was able to calm me down and get me re-focued on today. Perhaps you have someone like that....or perhaps we can do this for you. We don't know what the future holds but right now your tests are good so do try to relax and enjoy your life.
