Ladies,

I will be on 12 weekly doses of Taxol/herceptin. First one on a Monday.

My job is pretty much sitting in front of a computer all day, so no exertion there BUT... I do get sleepy sometimes ;P

I would just hate to take something that would knock me out for 48 hrs (2 work days) and then have to repeat the very next week. 'specially if I find out later that I didn't really need them! Oh well, such is a dilemma, right?

You guys are sooooo helpful, though. Just to be able to talk to someone that has been through it is priceless!!!
