I went in today for my weekly Herceptin treatment and met with my oncologist, Dr. Jordan. She concluded with my other doctors that the treatments have done amazingly well! She suspended my Herceptin treatment until after I finish surgery and radiation. Both herceptin and radiation have the potential to cause some heart damage, so she said that typically you don't do both things at the same time. My surgery is three weeks from today and she said I could start radiation about four weeks after surgery. I'll be able to do the radiation here in T. Club so that's GREAT!!
I have to admit that leaving her office which has been my home away from home for these past four months felt pretty strange, but I'll be back in April to continue Herceptin until October. I am thrilled to be done with chemo and have no treatment for a while but it sure feels strange!!
She also said "you can be assured that any microscopic cancer cells were eradicated by this treatment.??!"
Anyone know when I can expect some hair to grow back on my head??!!
