40. Wishing you strength for this next round of chemo Tab ...

Wed Aug 27, 2014, 10:45 PM

Aug 2014

and wish I had some other words of wisdom. As you mentioned in the cancer forum you have beaten the odds before and I hope this time you will as well, also wish that these next drugs will not be too hard on you. I'm glad that you reached out in the GD forum, there are many good people on DU and you will be surrounded by hugs and positive thoughts.

How long does this next session of chemo last and when do they do another test of this marker?

Big hugs!!!
