Receiving my fourth chemo treatment today. This will be the final Taxotere and Cytoxin treatment! Those are the bad boys! No reaction to the taxotere today. They ran it really slow so that helped. My port was accessed on the first try! And my boy is keeping me company today! It's all going well so far! We will stay at Becky and Jared's again tonight. Going out to dinner to celebrate a few things: Becky and Jared for taking such good care of us; Christopher's 21st birthday (May 1); and my last "bad" chemo! Yay!
Tomorrow will be the last Neulasta shot. And a follow up visit to Dr. Kiener, the plastic surgeon.
Then, for the next year, I wil just have the Herceptin infusion every three weeks. That is the targeted therapy that only takes about a half hour and has very little side effects. It will be a piece of cake in comparison!
I am still losing some of the stubble left on my head. I thought I was done with that, but yesterday I was rubbing my head and noticed a lot of it on my hands! I may end up with a true chrome dome after all!
Anyway, overall, I'm doing well today- just hope that translates to doing well in the next few days, too! We shall see!
Hope all of you are healthy, happy, and enjoying life!
