just diagnosed and so scared

Yes go do you good x

Oh ok , sounds like the same group though .  Strange how it is all different the way they plan treatment xx

Hi Harleybear, so good to see you are a feeling a lot more positive today.....yes the 8/9 days before the next chemo you feel so much better, so it you fancy a little break go for it....I know we used to go out for a meal during that time just to try to feel as if we were still in the real world. My taste buds were just recovering then too....Docetaxel is a strong chemo drug, but although it doesn;t feel like it at the time, it is your friend fighting the fight for you.... ...it got rid of all the cancer in my right breast......you are doing great......xxxxx

(Docetaxol was originally made from the needles of the European Yew tree...it is now made synthetically)....

If you feel up to it definitely go away for a few days, the break will no doubt do you both good. xxx

Will know more on Friday ...getting lots of tingles, I may have overdone it with washing the bathroom! Feeling it a bit now. But still...one must soldier on.

Thanks for the brief at least I know what to expect... rest well key xxx

Thanks Harley, certainly gives comfort of the unknown. 

I hope you're feeling much better...lovely of your neighbours to call in with flowers...that must have cheered u right up...times like this anything positive is indeed a bonus n uplifting. 

Tq for advise xxx

Whatever makes you feel happy and if you feel up to, then go for it. It sounds like you ladies have sus'd out a pattern of good/bad days...am learning so much from you...thank you

Definitely. Definitely. Definitely.  And have a GOOD time. Forget about bad things. You deserve it.xxx

Tq Shazzer. I am a bit scared of port...but I guess it makes life easier n less taxing on my poor veins. You amazing ladies do so well coping with picc line... I too have to have herceptin. Good to be prepared I guess. Cx

Ratty, I heard about herceptin impacting the heart and so rather apprehensive...thanks for assurances though. Going in blind is nerve wrecking 

I think the onco said I am having this plus carboplatin...the names just make me wana run for the hills!!
