Thanks Caya and Swimmee!

I don't know what i'd do without this board. Such a wealth of information and support. Nobody seems to know (except other Her2 folks) what we're going through.

You guys will appreciate this: My Onc was SHOCKED at how much I knew about the chemo treatments, the DNA results of my testing, what her2 was, etc etc. I told her about this site. She was pleasantly surprised!

I have PLENTY of support. My mom has been by my side for everything so far. She says it's the only way she will know what's happening because she is not a "computer person" ) Also, my oldest daughter (who is pregnant with my first grandchild) comes to many of my appointments too. My Husband is a truck driver so he misses alot, but goes with me whenever he is home. My sister picks up the slack of my other kids (school etc) and dog issues. Like I said, plenty of support and I am VERY thankful for that!

Let the shedding begin!!
