October 27, 2005

The weekly Herceptin is going pretty well, but I am tired!  Joan (the nurse at my oncologist's office) told me that people can be tired as a result of radiation for up to six months--I was not happy to hear that!!!

I am researching tests I can take to measure whether I am having a recurrence.  I am not thrilled with the thought of continuing the Herceptin forever, so I want to try to find a way to stop taking it for awhile.  I think I will need it for 12 months though--that seems to be the standard in the BC world in cases like mine.  I hope to go to every three weeks instead of every week.

I have gotten lots of positive feedback about the BC story I wrote.  And I finally got over the fact that they messed up my name :-)
