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.

November 29, 2006

Monday I received good news from Dr. Davis the radiology oncologist – I have only eight more full sessions and the boosts are expected to be no more than eight. This is good because my chest is becoming “lobster red” and I have three small blisters. My underarm is more purple than red now and I have had a small amount of discomfort that ibuprofen and the gels have not completely eliminated. It's not bad and I still consider radiation far easier than chemotheraphy.

Everyday I am amazed that I still have my energy. For so many months the energy would return only be taken away again by another chemo infusion. I am truly grateful and filled with joy to be feeling good.
