Smile 4th adjuvant chemo treatment tomorrow
In the morning, I go to take my 4th neo-adjuvant chemo treatment. My first two consisted of AC, and I developed nodes on the skin of my breast. My third treatment consisted of Taxol and Herceptin. I will do the Taxol and Herceptin again tomorrow.

Will everyone please say a pray for me that my tumors will shrink more.

God bless all of you. All the information that is provided on this board helps me make through the day.

Amelia, I will be praying for you tomorrow and hoping this treatment is the one that shrinks your tumor away. I had my CT scan this morning but it will be next week before I know the results. My onc also told me not to worry about the little bit of soy in vitamins or other things just don't make a daily habit out of it. Sending you a hug.

Wink Good thoughts
are coming your way. I too, had no response on AC and then the magic bullet of Herceptin and Taxotere did the trick for me. My tumor and nodes shrunk noticeably after the second treatment.
Relax, be kind to yourself, and know you are doing everything you can to bet this beast.
Best regards,
Emelie
