    So sorry
    to hear that the a/c did not work for you but please stay encouraged and know that we are here for you for whatever you need. I know how discouraging this must be to go through all that treatment and for them to tell you it did not work. Have they said if there is another treatment they can try that might work? I will be praying for you and please know that God is with you through this to strengthen and comfort you and bring you through this. Please do not get too down and isolate yourself. Reach out to us and to God always and never give up hope. Hope is our lifeline and we will not surrender it. We keep hope at all costs. God bless you and keep you.

    I too am so sorry about the a/c not working~ I was foolishly hoping you live in NY, it is humid, and your Air Conditioner fritzed out on you. But no....

    I do, however like that you are still geared for the fight~put the GRRRRRRR in Girl Power, and beat this beast into submission!

    Post when you can!

    hugs,

    Taxol is one of the best tools they have.
    Hopefully it will be the answer of your prayers. Try to eat as healthy as you can and move if you can, too. I'm just saying that seemed to help me through the 12 taxol treatments.

    Sorry to hear that this chemo failed to work for you. TAXOL and HERCEPTIN are very powerful, hoping you'll get great results! MM

    So sorry to hear about your setback, but encouraged to see the fighting spirit coming through in your words.

    Good luck with your move - just what you needed, more chaos - and check in to let us know how you're doing when you can.

    You will be in my prayers.
