[LAURIE]

I believe we got the inspiration. After reading this thread I have never felt better about my future and the future for us. Belinda I hope that Taxol is going well. It sounds like it. I am back to work now and doing great. I could not work during my treatment because I stand on my feet for 8 hours at work. The last month of Taxol was the worst for me, mostly because of the acne I got from the weekly steroids. It got my spirits down and I did not want to even go outside or see anyone. (The hot flashes were icky too.) It is amazing to me know that physical appearance kept me in. I did catch up on a lot of housework, movies and reading. Plus I spent a lot of time with the her2 support group. My hair is getting longer now and all the bald spots are filling in. I am going to have to update my picture here soon. I like my short pixie hair. I might keep it for awhile.

"Our future is so bright we have to wear shades". I don't remember who sang that song in the 80's but it just popped into my head thinking about all of us.
