All going as planned according to Dr Nakka. Last of the "bad" meds are over for now. She did ask if we had spoken to the radiation doctor and that sort of freaked us out. But we all three went back to our original visit notes and read again about the lymph nodes. Because none of the tumors had broken trough the nodes wall I DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE RADIATION. YEAH!!! YEAH!!! I was so glad.
When I first arrived for treatment they were taking my vitals and talking about how easy the next phase would be for me. No premeds bags to go through (been doing 4) before the big bad meds each time. The side effects for the Herceptin are mild. This will only take an hour to drip. Yes, still an IV in my port. But better than in my poor veins. Anyway I got so excited hearing all the good news my bp was up for me 122/68. I know that is still very good but I am usually 115/54. They just laughed and told to relax.
Unable to sleep until about 1:30 this morning. This is because of the steroids I have to take with this last batch. BUT NO MORE after todays 4 pills. So no sleep again tonight but that will change soon.
Seems like I have just started this journey and it's already been 5 months for my treatment and six months tomorrow from my bilateral mastectomy. Wow, how time has flown by for me.
My guys are still teasing me about my "fuzzy" hair. They rub my head and give me a kiss. I told then to rub gently so they don't rub any off. lol.
Going today after lunch (if I do eat - all yucky today so far) for my booster shot. Last treatment took me a full 8 days to recover. Hope I can do a lot better this time.
Thanks again for all your prayers and words of encouragement and hope.
XOXO
