Hard to believe it has been over a week since our last update. Good news it that there has not been a lot to report since then.
The weather here in Rockport has been warm, but overcast. So, not much sitting out in the sun. However, that is good too since I am now supposed to limit my time in the sun. :-( Those that know me well, know that is going to be a challenge. We saw evidence why it is necessary when we were working outside (on an overcast day) and in no time at all, I was getting sunburned on the back of my neck. Sounds like the sensitivity will continue even after the radiation affects are over.
One side effect that no one seems to be able to address is my ears. They said the tops would be sensitive and peeling like a sunburn, but they can't explain why I am having issues with the inner ear. Very annoying!
Today was a visit to the medical oncologist. Sounds like the lab numbers were ok and we can proceed with the next dose of Herceptin in a week.
Since all that has fallen in to place, we have more firm plans for our return to Ohio. Looks like we will be leaving Texas on or around May 4. It will take us at least a week to get all the way back to Ashtabula as we drive only short distances and will spend some time in Wilmington to visit the folks.
Well, that's all I have to report at this time. Thanks for all the love and prayers!
