Thank you all for your understanding and positive encouragement especially about Herceptin. I am banking on radiation and Herceptin not giving me much trouble and for sure not as much as chemo did. I am hoping every day I get further out from chemo I will feel better and better. My eyes are still so bothersome as is the rash. I just finished my steroids today and the rash has calmed down a bit but not as much as I had hoped. I have been having terrible pain in my thighs and I don't know what that is from but walking down and up the stairs or getting up from a sitting position brings on the pain. I so look forward to better days ahead. Thanks again for your responses and support.
