Kathy, best wishes. I hope a calm washes over you this morning as you get ready for your 1st! I think you will find it not so bad as anticipated. Herceptin and Navelbine seemed mild to me (but they weren't the 1st). And Flori is so right. Just reach out and "the others" will walk you down the path.
And Flori, good wishes for a bright day for you also today. May the sun shine on you and make it a warm and wonderful day.
Love to all who face each day as a warrior, ma
