Dear Sheila
I am so happy for you!! Maybe you will also have the time to figure out if you need the full dose of decadron or just alot more benadryl instead. How dreary to have to take the decadron (although I took Taxol and got it too).
What a great thing! I am very glad for this much needed break. Are they doing scans or tests now and then in 6 weeks to see if you even need to go back on? I am waiting for you to really be off the chemo so we can go to Miami together!
Love and a big hug
