		 Hello all! 
I am feeling stronger each day.  I still have laryngitis.  I am to see my family Dr. today.  I assume that they have the results from the various test done at the hospital.  Thursday it the big day......the FINAL taxotere infusion.  I am torn, I want to be done with it but on the other hand wondering how it will affect me this time.  I WILL get thru it and on to the next phase of RAD. 
I hope you all had a nice easter.  Happy Spring!!!! 
Mich
