The Original Intent Of This Blog

April 2006 - It seems vain to create a blog about me however, I realize that it is the most efficient way to provide accurate information about the status of my treatment and recovery so here I go .....

May 2009 - The cancer has returned, here I go again ...

December 2009 - I've finished chemo and am cancer free; I continue to receive Herceptin and the trial drug.

Cycle #3 Days 8 - 15





As you can see by these pictures, I was able to be with family on the 4th.

After today my white blood cell count will start climbing! I am feeling great. I am a little bit tired but it is nothing to complain about, my taste is far less salty, and my arm is feeling better.

July 12th will be my final A + C infusion. I feel like I am graduating and I am excited to move on to the next stage of chemo. I am not looking forward to the side effects of Taxol but I've learned that there is drug to combat every side effect and I am sure I will deal with it. I will explain more about the next phase in August.

That's it for now - just a brief update. I am working on the next post - but it's not quite ready yet.

Love to each of you!
