Johanna;

Here is Canada you put your hands in dishes of ice water when on Taxotere! I haven't been through your experience but also "feel the picks". I have been noticing these lately around my stomach and wondering about it just like you......but just saw my onc who checked me out and it doesn't seem to be anything. I do know all about the panic attacks. Every now and then I would feel this panic taking me over.....Tricka is right.....slow breathing really helps (as an aside.....it also helps with pain as I found out during the birth process with my son). However, I needed more than that and at that time I had a friend who I would call and she seemed always to know how to calm me down. Now I am more independent.....I can come here to the Her2support site and talk and listen to all the wise advice these ladies supply. It is wonderful....like belonging to a club where you know you really belong....perhaps it would be better if it were a sports club or something but what can you do....lol.

I'll look forward to hearing more.... best regards,

Cathya
