HONEY, We've Shrunk the Tumor!!

I went in for my weekly Herceptin treatment yesterday. During the visit, I also saw the doctor. She was absolutely amazed at the fact that the tumor is difficult to find and has softened considerably! She said that if she hadn't known anything prior to the exam, she probably would've just assumed that what she was feeling was typical tissue!

She told me on day one that "we're gonna annihilate this thing!!" I guess we've just about done that!

We discussed some calendar issues also. My last chemo treatment is scheduled for January 14th, so we're probably looking at surgery being sometime AFTER February 9th. I have to meet with Dr. Chow to discuss surgery, etc....

I will probably continue with Herceptin for a while...perhaps a year. WORKS for me!! This treatment is quick, painless, and has no side effects!!

We enjoyed great chicken spaghetti from our friends, The Jeffcoats! Thanks so much!

NINE WEEKS and a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
