Well Hi there Ladies
It has been a very long time. I have stopped by to read a little every now and then so I've been keeping up with all of you. Glad to see most of you doing well. Thanks Juanita for checking up on me. The zoo is very busy in the summer, plus with radiation I am exhusted. But the good news is I have chemo and rads behind me with only 13 more treatments of Herceptin. I start Tomaxafin the coming week, so the recent posts have been very helpful to me. I can always count on all of your insights.
I do have one question about rads. Is it common to get sore ribs on the treated side a week after rads have stopped? I see onc on Tuesday, but was just wondering. Well all of you have a beatiful day, Kriss
