    Sheila - I feel better tonight than I have in the previous week - not sure why but maybe it is the pending 3 days off?  I will learn on Monday how they will treat my anemia though it is not a huge issue, fairly minor actually.  7 down, 28 to go? 

    My FIL did a great job with the meatloaf.  DS and DIL came by this evening for dinner and presents.  We played cards, had some wine, opened gifts.....nice evening.  DD has a friend here for the night so all is good.

    Is it related to radiation?

    No they think it is residual from the chemo...

    The paperwork is downstairs on my desk - I am far too lazy to go look right now :)  But I don't think I had a problem with Hemoglobin...

    Hi all!!

    Just popping in to wish all my friends on here a BLESSED, HEALTHY, HAPPY NEW YEAR!  No pics from me!  haha

    All newbies, WELCOME!  Sorry you have to be here like the rest of us! :(

    Debbie (?) I think...can't remember, about having a BMX.  I did.  No regrets.  Why would your docs think it wouldn't help you to have a BMX?

    We had a WHITE CHRISTMAS here.  First one in over 20 years.  Beautiful.  Been cold.  Finally warming up.

    Going on a sleep over tonight with our 7 yr. old grandson at the TN Aquarium.  First time.  I don't think I'll get much sleep on a hard floor!  haha

    You're the BEST ladies!  Here's to GOOD news in 2011.  See you next year!

    I am a new Stage 1 Sister.  This is a wonderful site.  I have had a lumpectomy and have started radiation and Herceptin infusions.  Now my doctor is talking about Chemo once every 3 weeks for 4 months.  That will begin after radiation is done.  I'm wondering if anyone else had the same regimem.

    (((phyllismarie)))) and welcome.  I sure hate to start the new year by welcoming yet another sister to our group, but better that than leaving you without support and resources. That regimen was not what I did, but there is probably someone that will match up with it.

    I had 4X A/C
