feeling down

Hi. I was dx in Aug 2003. Started Taxol/herceptin in Sept. Had a good response -- my onc suggested a change to try and get a complete response. This week had my first taxotere/herceptin.

I do really well in terms of energy level, stamina. Good appetite. I've lost my hair. But what really bugs me is the horrdi shape my nails are in. The are eally gross -- and its hard for me to do some stuff with my fingers without feeling like Im going to lose my nails.

I'm having a hard time dealing with this new life of mine. We have three kids, agess 8, 3, and 10 months. I want to do everything I can to be here to raise my kids.

I'm scared -- what do you focus on when you have these moments?

Thanks
T.
