I am getting back to "normal!!"  Today I was able to do so much more than I have had energy to do over these past 7 months...clean and move furniture and organize the house.  I know this sounds so exciting to all of you!!  I was so proud of myself and so happy that the energy I seemed to have lost is coming back! 

I also had to take care of some business like check in at the oncology office to see if the insurance had come through yet... I found out that the insurance company finally authorized this treatment until Dec. 31, 2011 which is half good but then we have to go through all of this again in December to make sure the other half of the treatments are covered.  I also got the hospital bill for my portion of the surgery, etc. and was relieved to see we were only paying some hundreds of dollars instead of tens of thousands!!!  That is a nice difference!

Tomorrow is my Radiation consultation appointment which will be good to get through and find out what the schedule will be for the next 5 or 6 weeks.  It will allow me to find that comfortable sense of control in which I can plan around all the treatments and help keep life going on for the family. 

Then on Friday I will have the first Herceptin treatment.  I am relieved that I will not have to deal with any side effects!  We are even planning quite a few activities for the weekend which is so unusual to me since all though chemo it meant I would have to spend the whole weekend and beyond stuck in the house missing everything!! 

Good is coming my way as it has all along!
