Hang in there Angela. I hope it's not as bad this time. My mom also
started her second round of chemo this Wednsday. She got taxol and carboplatin and did OK so far. She wasn't nauseous and had the
energy to go for a walk after the treatment with her dog. :-)
I keep fighting for her to get herceptin without succes so far.
I wish you all the best - keep us posted how it went.
Sending you positive thoughts

Angela, hope you're feeling ok after your first day of the second round in this fight. I will never forget my first day of treatment after recurrence. I "felt" Herceptin and Navelbine working against the cancer, and by the next morning felt the cancer nodules were smaller and softer...maybe my "imagination" but after 6 months I was in remission, so I'm wishing a great response for you too! You'll do fine, and we'll be here to celebrate with you!

You can do it and all of us here will continue to support you in your fight...

And by the way, cry ALL you need to and do not worry about others. Maybe through your tears you can actually reach out to someone, gain and/give support and make a new friend!

Lisa had a rating system for her days. She had her APPLE days, because apples are firm and crisp and good. She had her ORANGE days, not quite as crisp and you had to work to peel through the day but it was still sweet. Her LEMON days that even as she tried to peel through the day it could be sour instead of sweet. And lastly she had her ONION days - days that no matter how many layers she peeled away were days full of tears.

Looking back, I think it was almost always on her ONION days that she would meet someone new, reach out to them and they would comfort each other. Never be afraid to cry - by crying you are revealing your humanity and opening yourself up to recieve more love.

Angela, so sorry you are having to go through this again. This is my biggest fear that the cancer will return. I will be praying for you. Just keep a very positive attitude, and put those "big girl panties" on. Every one on this list is so courageous and brave. I know you can be too.
