Good News!

I have great news to share:

CT scan came back clear.  They did mention a spot in my throat area that should be monitored so I will be going back in 6 months to have it checked.  But other than that I now know my lungs are cleared. 

I had my 9th Herceptin treatment today.  The IV went in rather easily and I did well with the drugs going in.  I also met with Dr. Chung.  We talked about all the illness I have been dealing with and she wants me to see either my Ear, Nose and throat doctor or my GP.  It could be allergies or something else we are not aware of yet.  

I am exhausted and have a headache tonight but I am actually doing well considering!  I came away from the Chemo room realizing how lucky I am to be as healthy as I am and I will cherish all the time I have without cancer running my life.  I met an older woman who has been coming for treatments for 7 years and the meds they need to use now are making her so sick she is not able to live life the way she wants to.  She had a smile on her face when we were chatting about children and our birthdays that are coming up very soon.  She ware such a beautiful person who was able to remind me the importance of now and enjoying all the good in today.  

I am looking forward to a quiet weekend and will cherish the extra day off on Monday.  It will be nice to re-energize!
