	 | Again, I can't thank you all enough for your help, advice and support  I start treatment next week.  I'll have docetaxel (Taxotere) next Tuesday. They're also keeping me on Herceptin, while I'm 'tolerating it so well'. I've got to have that the week after, but they'll link it up with the Taxotere after that, provided I don't get a bad reaction to the Tax. 
 I've had a chest x-ray today (no results yet), and will be getting an appointment for a bone scan.
 Hearing about treatments, seeing the grave look on the oncs face, and suchlike, has made it all seem very real. Horribly scarily real.
I don't mind admitting I'm a bit of a mess at the minute.  Really struggling to get my head around things, and struggling to find hope.
