    Beginning is half done.
    My mom used to say that to me when I put something off. I understand how you feel. I wanted my life back and that couldn't happen until after my treatments. Great attitude.

    Glad that you're getting
    Glad that you're getting started! It will be over before you know it, and remember we're all here for you if you need to vent, or ask about any side effects, or just talk with others who have been through it :)
    My mom was just telling me yesterday that she's looking forward to her 3rd chemo today -brings her one step closer to being done with it - AND most importantly, cancer free!
    Best of luck & health to you, I'll be thinking about you on Thursday, hope they have plenty of room in that infusion center because I have a feeling there will be alot of us in there with you :)
    *sending big hugs your way*

    Good luck!
    Sounds like Adryamicin and Cytoxin. Both are common drug treatments for b/c, and they are both doable. Wishing you the best as you start your journey....we will all be here for you as you take each step. Hugs, Judy

    Glad you are getting started, that first treatment was the hardest for me, just the unknown of all of it. I felt less anxious once that first tx was behind me. Praying all goes well for you. God Bless

    Strange!!
    I don't think that is strange at all. I felt the same way. My doctor told me early in the dx, I was fighting for my life and it was going to be a hard year, for hopefully, many good years in the future. Bring it on! God bless you...alison

    I used to have a boss who would say "let's get 'er done", and that's how I feel about my treatments. BRING IT! Fight that battle with everything you've got!

    Let us know how you do. It's been said to drink lots of water...I like Smart Water right around my treatments because of the electrolytes it contains. Hope it all goes well.

    Hugs,
