Thursday Was a Busy Day

First radiation at 10:30, at 1:00 pm the first solo Herceptin infusion, and then later I had my wig trimmed. I have yet to wear the wig but winter is coming and I may need it. I will need a passport for our cruise in February so I will definitely wear it for the passport photo!

For the Herceptin infusion I pre-medicated at home 30 minutes prior to the appointment with 650 mg of Tylenol and 50 mg of Benadryl. The actual infusion only took 30 minutes. As for side effects, well Herceptin can cause a variety of side effects but I only noticed mild insomnia Thursday night and minor body aches the following day. It was a breeze compared to chemo!
