I'm sitting here at the clinic getting my Herceptin. I everything is going smoothly, my white cells are still a little low, but I feel good, so it's just a matter of being patience and giving them more time to come back up. I have completed 15/33 radiation treatments. My skin is starting to get a little pink and I am a little tired, but that's about it. The treatment takes about 5-10 minutes and to me the last three weeks have gone by pretty quickly. I have been seeing a physical therapist twice a week and she is really nice and its been very helpful in reducing any swelling in my arm. The farther I get out from chemo, the better I feel, even with having radiation treatment. I am really working on trying to get my energy and strength back up and I really do feel a difference even in the last three weeks. I am just impatient and want to feel better, sooner, faster! But it's happening and I a moving forward. My hair is started to grow back very S L O W L Y....I am still bald, but it's coming. I have started taking weekly pictures so I can see the growth a little better. Tony still has more hair than me, but soon......:)
I see Dr. Mammolito next Tuesday for a follow up appt. I will also be getting another ECHO to check on my heart, I get one every four months while I'm on Herceptin.
I am grateful to be feeling better. I am so thankful for all the prayers and support I have gotten. I am so touched by all of the kindness people have given to my family and I...so amazing!
