Re: So Very Upset
Hi Kathy,

Bummer to hear this news. I am not up-to-date on chemo, but I sure hope they get the right cocktail for you. For some reason, I have had a hard time logging on to the site from my lap top, so I have not checked in much lately. I did get on tonight....and I want to join the group that says....This Sucks. I have a local friend that did very well with Herceptin and Perjeta. Again, I hope your oncologist has the perfect cocktail for you. You are a doll, and it stinks that you have had to get this news. We are with you!

Love, Catherine
