    Not sure if I'll start in August or Sept. My last taxol is this week (barring any setbacks). My RO is the same person who treated me 14 years ago. She's considering DIBH and prone techniques to spare my heart, which has some existing damage from my first go at treatment (she says A/C did it 🤷‍♀️). I did well overall with rads last time, but this course of chemo has been brutal - so who knows.
