Bill, I've often wondered if I have sleep apnea. You maybe on to something there. My wife says that I don't snore though. I know that I do toss and turn quite a bit but I always chalked it up to stress.
Patty, thank god it was only a month! Living on Jolly Ranchers and water kinda sucks. Except I do think this is the best diet ever invented; If it tastes like crap, just spit it out cuz no use in wearing out your jaw muscles chewing up something that tastes like tree bark.
Diarrhea..........for the last 6 weeks I've been telling everyone to drop what they are doing and run out and buy stock in Charmin.
Harrie, I'm just about half way, I have 4 more treatments of the taxhercarbo and then another year of Herceptin.
Believe51, I've been reading all of the good news that you've posted about Ed, and it brought tears to my eyes because I was so happy for the both you! Don't give up the faith to hear the NED news, and I'll keep up my daily prayers for you guys. Please tell Ed I said hello, and that I know he is going to beat this. Just beacuse we have breast cancer doesn't mean that we are too girly to stop chewing nails and wearing steel toed boots to kick this cancer thing in the a$$,and we ain't about to let a thing like the big C get the best of us. This ain't no hill for a climber! It's a guy thing, he'll understand, believe me!
