Thanks for all your wonderful support here. It really lifted my spirits. I have not worn my green shoes to oncology but I will next time. I have all kinds wild socks for every occassion and so that gets everyone's interest. The nurses and even the doctor check my socks. I tell them that is the wild side of me! Wait till they see my green shoes!! They call me the clown now can you believe that? Oh well, some times we have to create our fun when others are sleeping and having a bad day. That changes when I arrive even the visitors get a laugh out of me. Guess, I have said enough. O yes, I am surprised you can take Doxil with Herceptin??? I thought that was toxic to the heart. Gosh, I would have asked my doctor if I had of know there was any chance to putting the together. He asked me what info I had gotten off this message board and I told him Doxil is at the forefront here. He said he likes that we have always been on the same wave length here. Wishing you all well and I will keep you all updated. Thanks for the effusion info that helps me as I have to research that being new for me. hugs, Sandy
