Thank you everyone,

I just finished my first treatment. I envision Hercepton killing the cells as it goes through my body. My doctor today suggested a port as I can have all my infusions, blood work and tests done through this. I have agreed but it has left me in a state of shock. I know it would be easier for me, but I guess I'm really realizing that I will be on treatment for life and it kind of has me freaked out. Im at home now having my little cry before I go to get my kids, but you are right. I have to live my life, brush myself off and hope for the best. Thank you for your support and comforting words, that truly make me feel so much better.
