Hi Belinda,
I am so glad to hear that you are doing well so far with your treatments. I think that you will find the Taxol to be much easier to handle. I (12) treatments and just got a little fatigued near the end, but was able to work through it and keep up with my 3 boys. I know how you feel about being a little more optimistic with each passing day. I just finished with all of my reconstruction and have only (6) three-week treatments of Herceptin left. Tomorrow is my one year anniversary and I am amazed over the change since last year. I was DEVASTATED and barely able to function, and now I am so much stronger in every way- physically, emotionally, spiritually...what a journey!! You will be in my prayers, and before you know it, you will be celebrating your last chemo!!!
Love, Kelly
