David - You're fantastic. I found this site awhile ago but it seemed I couldn't figure out anything. Question #1 Tx = treatment? lol. Everything you said was very helpful and I'm so glad I'm finally on here.
Would you suggest that I go back and follow your first suggestion or just stay on this thread? I absolutely had no idea what to do after I did my first write up. I was thrilled when I finally found where it was posted!
Anyway, I live in Va. and have been going to Hopkins for chemo with plans to do radiation at a closer hospital but they ARE very good so we're renting a place over there (Baltimore, Md.) for the 7+ weeks so that will make life much easier.
Oh, and I already lost my hair on my head at end of first chemo. Great wigs at American Cancer Society.com Thanks and GOOD LUCK to you, Nancy
