Hi guys! Wanted everyone to know I'm officially at my 10 year mark on Valentine's day! Treatment has been hard lately-3 wks on, 1 wk off Taxotere with some bothersome side effects...OHHH the FINGERS! the FINGERS!!...but still bright-eyed and bushy-tailed most days.
A LOT of my emotional well-being comes directly from THIS FORUM. Thank you guys-all of you. I really appreciate it. I guess I've let my "real-world" support system dissipate, but I know you guys are always here to keep me keepin' on! Like one of the administrator's (that I admire tremendously) sig line says, "Very happy to be alive"
