Thanks all. There's one thing I've learned through this and it's to be active in your treatment. I am surprised when I go to get my Herceptin and I talk with other patients near me, some of them have absolutely no idea of what drugs they are even taking. They just do what their doctors say. My doctor once made the remark that I knew as much as he did about chemos and was just going to let me tell him what to do next. He was joking of course but I wouldn't have it any other way. I have found that doctors have many patients and I am darned determined to help him take care of at least one of them...me...sherryg683
