"Schools out for summer" small victory
Hi Friends, As I write this I have one day of work, at a middle school, left before summer vacation. It was at this time last year I learned I had a lung nodule and was back to chemo....had been on herceptin for almost 9 months (20 months since original diagnosis). I really thought I would not be able to teach this year, too many demands, new drugs added Xeloda and Navelbine.... and way too tired for classroom management...but with the encouragement of my nurses and those who monitor my clincial trial, I decided I would try. It has been tough at times, but I guess it is safe to say that it looks like I made it!! I am taking it year by year, one step at a time for now. Many days and nights the encouraging words on this website have helped...thanks for being part cheerleader, confident, and friend. I know I have needed it. Ceesun aka Cathy
