Re: Need Advice - Scanxiety

Thank you all for the support! Adriana - thank you for the advice, I will talk to onc later this week and discuss my concern. Amy - I like your strategy! I do that sometimes too, I call it my plan for the worst, hope for the best approach. I find I am better prepared when things go wrong and delighted when they don't. It works for me too. Annette - I can't cross my toes at all (darn taxol) I just tried lol. But I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Best of luck tomorrow!

I just put the nasty goop in the fridge that I have to drink (yuck) first dose tonight...I wish it had some alcohol in it, that would give me more incentive to drink it!!! Hehe
