Tracy: sounds like a really rough day. The muga's are better after the first one and you know what to expect. I didn't know you couldn't draw blood from the affected side either. Most of the time, I have them use my port for the muga( They have to get a nurse in from oncology because no one in radiology knows how to use a port, but that's the way it is.
I understand about being scared. I was terrified of chemo and while it certainly wasn't a pleasant experience, it wasn't nearly as bad as you see on TV either, at least not for me. I started counting down the days from day one until I would be done, but things really do get better as time passes.
Good luck. I hope chemo goes well for you. I am also StageI , grade 3 Her2+++ but from what I understand, with chemo and herceptin, the survival rate is really good. I had a month between lumpectomy and chemo and a year later, I'm doing great. I don't think the tumors grow THAT fast. There are plenty of people on this board who have been at this longer than me and know more than I do, but I really think the outlook for you is positive.
Take care. BERTA
