2/3 DONE!!

Round four is over.......and fluids have begun to ward off impending side effects. The best news though is that after examination, Dr. Jordan declared the tumor essentially non-existent! Amazing news! I meet with Dr. Chow January 7th to discuss surgery which will probably be the end of February. I will also stay on Herceptin once every three weeks for at least a year.......that's sounds so simple....the drug is quickly administered and has no side effects.

There is a possibility that I'll need a blood transfusion next week, but hopefully not. They'll check my blood on Monday to make this determination.

I arrived at school this morning after getting fluids to find a huge diet cherry sonic drink on my desk and some beautiful James Avery earrings............my friends on my hallway continue to amaze me with their support!!! There is no way I could've gotten through this without all of them..........Thank you is much too much an understatement!!!!

My kids are busy......Sam started school basketball this past Tuesday and has rec league practice and game Friday and Saturday. Polley has back to back parties on Sunday!

I'm crossing my fingers that the upcoming side effects will be minimal.................

Thanks to all for continued prayers and support!!!

As of today I am a survivor of 13 weeks and a day!!!
