I know how you're feeling. I have been so emotional for so long - I actually think I've been depressed. How could we not?

I have discovered recently that my emotions have become less easily triggered as time and treatments go by. I figure I have about 8 or 9 more Herceptin treatments left. My hair is coming back and I'm starting to feel more like myself. My point is - as much as I never thought it would happen - things are getting better.

As a side note, don't feel too bad about not getting AFLAC. They have not paid a penny on my policy. I have been "fighting" with them since last August.

Hang in there!!
