Re: Bad News
Laurie,
I am very sorry that you have had a recurrence. I am praying the Herceptin and Taxotere will work for you and bring you to NED. I have the Bard Power Port, and I am really pleased with it. I have had no problems and don't even notice that it is there. I am on Taxotere, Carboplatin, and Herceptin, and the only side effects I have from the Taxotere is hair loss and nausea (I am not sure if the the nausea is from the Taxotere, Carboplatin or both), and my doctor has given me a combination of medicines to combat the nausea which have worked well.
I really hope the medicine works for you.
Love,
Carolyn
