MUCH BETTER
What a wonderful place this Chat is. The best thing is how much everyone seems to care about each other. Sharing ideas and making suggestions is the second best part.
I am feeling lots better. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer. (Wonder if it is an OTT lamp -- tee-hee!)
Saw the oncologist two weeks ago. I thought that I was going to have 17 infusions of Herceptin. That would take me into February of 2018. NOPE. Turns out that I had six blasts of the drug along with the Chemo. Now, I only have five more to go -- ending on October 2nd.
Saw my Primary Care guy last week. Told him I was still tired/sleepy most of the time. We tweaked some meds. WOW. What a difference. More energy and ambition. Not enough to clean the bathrooms or wash the kitchen floor. LOL!
The hair on my head is growing back. Very white. Too soon to tell about the texture. I was salt and pepper with very thick hair before. Eye lashes are gone. Eyebrows are still gone. Bought my first ever eyebrow pencil. I was nervous about the look. I was going to ask someone I trusted to tell me the truth. Before I said anything she told me how great they looked.
The worse is over with. I will still go for six month check-ups and Prolea injections for the next five years. No big deal!

Glad to hear you are feeling a little more energized!!
When my sister's hair grew back, it was a beautiful salt & pepper color, & really soft!
Hang in there, every day will be better, now that the Dr tweaked your meds.

So glad to hear things are heading in the right direction. BTW who actually feels like cleaning the bathroom or washing kitchen floors and yes it has to be done but...... Take care and keep on getting well.

Happy to hear you're feeling better, and your energy level is improving. Don't worry about the bathroom, or kitchen floor, if any one complains, show them to the cleaning supplies!

So glad to hear that your health is improving and you feel so much better. I don't like to do cleaning and I haven't been sick. LOL Just take your time and don't overdo. When my late DH had his chemo for his breast cancer I was amazed that he didn't lose his hair or "throw up". Hang in there. You know we are all here for you and praying for you.

Nancye!
You seem pleased, and well you should be, with being on the last part of the road to recovery. My DH was so moved by your illness that he includes you in his evening prayers. You get my prayers in the mornings. Always will.
So glad your hair is returning. When I broke my arm, my hair post-surgery, has become at least 50% white. I saw myself in the mirror and had to do a double take! (Who is that old _itch?)
So glad you have gotten a reprive from the herceptin. Are you stitching? I am not yet...too much arm pain. Hope you have a good summer! Let your DH spoil you.
