Hi Vicky, So TCH just wasn't enough excitement for you huh? So you decided to see a dentist....wow...that must of been the icing on the cake. Not! (The fun never stops does it.) Hope your teeth are feeling better.

Just think of it this way...three down and "only" 3 more to go. It really will go by faster then what you think. It does seem like it takes forever when your doing it. Once I finished it seemed like it really didn't take that long. It's strange. Then when you just have to finish your yr of herceptin its a piece of cake so to speak. I hope you were up to enjoying some turkey today. Hang in there...it won't be long and this will all be behind you.
