Trouble getting on and using site
Is anyone else having trouble with this site? It takes over 10 minutes to sign on and almost the same time to open and close different threads. Some days it takes so long I don't get to sign in at all. Is there anything that can fix this. I even had Geek Squad work on it to no avail. Help! Sandy

Doe1504, I will be with you on the Pink Bus tomorrow.
I know tomorrow is your first chemo and I will be right there with you with prayers and hugs. I'll even drive the bus if you would like. Try to be calm and if you need it, take the med to relax you (it even helps with nausea on the day of tx). Take care and let us know how you are doing. God bless, Sandy
