Hi Sue and Kevin,

Oh.....how I remember the chemo. I finished my 4 A/C - 4 Taxol/Herceptin - November 30th, 2005. I received my first chemo on a Wednesday and remember by Friday feeling just like Sue. I, too, was/is a very athletic person and NOT a sitter by any stretch of the imagination. I remember hardly having the energy to get up off the couch. The good news........................that was the ONLY day throught out all of the chemo I felt that bad. The only day.

Is Sue receiving the dose dense regimen (every other week) or the every 3 week regimen? I received the every other week regimen.

Well, I'm confident tomorrow will be a better day. Drink, drink, drink and drink LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER. I'm convinced that helped me along with as many of my walks I could continue to do. I did manage to get in a 2 mile walk ALMOST every day through my 16 weeks of chemo.

Give Sue an encouraging hug,

Mary Jo
