deeble Hi again Sarah, The FEC wasn't too bad really. I didn't feel great on it, but it never made me sick. I'm finding Taxotere much tougher. I can only hope it's being tougher on the cancer cells too!

I was very nervous, to say the least, but I came out of it with flying colors. I'm told that they have so many anti-nausea medications and so on, that it's not as bad as it used to be. Of course, I was also told that the first is...

deeble I can only echo all this advice.. please do be aware of what your body's doing. I was neutropenic after my first two docetaxel/taxoteres, and got infections. Fortunately, I caught it before I got a high temperature, so was sent home with antibiotics, rather...

deeble In my humble opinion, infatuation is when you see someone.. maybe get to know them a bit, and really really like them. You think about them alot, and often think you love them. Love is when you get to know someone well, and love them for both their good...

deeble You can't MAKE someone fall in love with you.. Just be yourself, and if it's going to happen, it will. But you can't force it.

deeble I did use IE7 when it first came out, but I really didn't like it very much. I got used to the tabbed browsing, but had problems with other things (I don't remember exactly what now though, I'm afraid). It was enough to make me revert back to IE6 though.....

deeble Well, there's a bit of a story with that one.. My hospital will let you have hickman lines, or picc lines, but they don't fit chemo patients with ports. Nor are any of the chemo nurses trained to access ports. I don't want a hickman or picc line, but I'd...

deeble Yep, you can only read so much, I find! Do you have an ipod, or similar? I've got a few audio books on mine, which don't seem to put me to sleep as easily as reading. And I can do other things at the same time. Then there's the music, of course. I...

what are your opinions on these? Which would you rather take? Which do you feel you learn more in? Which fits your lifestyle better?

deeble I think they both have plus points really.. Face to face classes tend to give you more motivation to carry on with, and complete the course. Where as online classes can give you the opportunity to do something you might not otherwise get the chance to do.

deeble I've always found the net interesting. But it became much more than that, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I've found so much support through breast cancer support forums/websites. I think I'd really struggle without that kind of support now.
