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 # 5: Days 1 - 3

I must have had a lot of steriods leftover in my system on Thursday, day one, because I had insomina but I felt great and had tons of energy; I enjoyed the day.

Yesterday I woke up with a headache that did not go away until about midnight last night. Tylenol, Vicodin, and Ibuprofin throughout the day eased the pain but did not take it away nor the upper body aches that started later in the morning. It was an icky day.

Fortunately the headache is still gone this morning. The upper body aches are now joined by lower body aches. I don't like this but I think it is better than having a headache that will not go away.

Maybe I will get lucky and this will be the last icky day of this cycle.

I am on the other side of this finally - I only have three more infusions to go. I can do this.

Thanks for checking in on me, I will write more later.

no promises ... but, the pain should go away .. and you should enjoy the 2 weeks before next infusion better! I pray that is how it will go for you! But yes - I love your positiv attitude - you are SO CLOSE to being done!!!!!!! donna
