Stay positive!

You will do just fine! Read a lot, knowledge takes away the fear. This website will help quite a bit - all of us have been through some sort of treatment, or are currently in treatment. I was fearful of how my body would react, but it held up pretty good! I am still taking Herceptin. I am very active (running, weigh lifting), work full time and have two kids that have very active social lives. My best advice is to read, have a support group (family, friends or outside group), keep moving (walking is great!) and drink tons of water. It's also fun to "treat" yourself after each chemo treatment. I found "retail therapy" really helped after chemotherapy. Take care!
