    I am starting Taxol, Carboplatinum & Herceptin in two weeks.  I am scared to death.  I got my port a few days ago.  I feel like saying forget it b/c it's adjuvant.  Does anyone else feel like " if it's not broke, don't fix it?"  i already had bilateral mast.  I have been tortured enough already but I want to live. How do people get through this??? All I do is cry or get mad and pout.  Or eat.  Chocolate helps...

    Hi...I don't know anything about your diagnosis so I can't say anything about the importance of chemo for you, but I can tell you from my experience that you can get through this!  It's really day by day and hour by hour sometimes, but before you know it you will be done with treatment.  And you will know that you did everything possible to fight this terrible disease.  I just passed the 3rd anniversary of my diagnosis, and I feel really healthy now.  In many ways I ended up feeling stronger than I ever was before, but it was through the help of my June chemo group that I was able to make it.  I wish you the best of luck on this part of your journey...take care!
