So far this week has started off with good news from the doctor visits. First, when we met with the radiation oncologist on Tuesday, she decided to start stepping down the steroids to twice a day. Then, today, the medical oncologist stated that since the cardio results were good, the Herceptin dose can now go up to the normal dosage that only needs to be administered once every three weeks vs. weekly. Yippee! Also, today marked the last day of the initial therapy dosage of the chemo pill (Xeloda). Getting a rest of 7 days before the next round starts.
With having both radiation and injection today, didn't do much else. Felt good, but am starting to wind down as the day is coming to a close.
Not much else to report. Will be contacting the Cleveland Clinic tomorrow to start the ball rolling for getting the appointments set up there. That will also allow us to have more clarity on our plans to return to Ohio. (Better get rid of that snow and warm it up!)
Life is all about "the stories".
This is ours from our RV somewhere in the U.S.
