Melanie - I just wanted to add my support and say that I appreciate each and every post as they all inform me, and I am sure others, and make us aware of possible treatment issues and outcomes. I echo the support from the others who have posted and please keep us updated on your condition. I continue to work daily through treatment and have had some dizziness and inattention to detail unless I focus much more than I did pre-bc. Even those few symptoms are so frustrating I can only imagine what you are feeling. My love and best wishes to you.
Rebecca
