Yesterday I survived the last chemo session. It took three nurses 7 attempts to find a vein they could get into properly. It seems chemo wears out the veins and they all try to pack up and go to Paris, France. I'm just too tired to go now, so they can't either.
I am so glad chem is done. It has gotten easier each session, but it is tiring. I am, according to the nurses, very anemic. Which means I am tired. But it will get better. Soon I'll be back to me and have a some hair. Life will be even better.
Chemo is done, but I will have nine more months of going to that office every three weeks for an IV of Herceptin, which targets the Her2/neu part of my cancer. Her2/new is an aggressive form of breastcancer. Luckily this drug along with the Femera, one of the drugs for Estrogen/Progestrine positive cancer,saves lives. I asked the doctor yesterday what the recurrence rate was for m kind of cancer. He said that if I had only had surgery and radiation the recurrence rate was 40% but adding in chemo and the above drugs drops it down to about 8% I say thank God for research, and modern medicine. I say life is good.
And my stupid computer is still in the shop. It's not stupid viruses, it is shoddy workmanship and poor repairs. This is the sixth time it has been in for the same problem. The battery will not hold a charge. I would get into the details, but they are boring. This time they are to replace the computer. We'll see.
