Not much new here. I'm feeling pretty good all things considered. My heart rate is back down to normal this week, so I'm chocking up the racing heart rate I was having to the chemo (or even more likely the steriods I get around the chemo time) not the Herceptin. What a relief!
Keith and I went to see the breast surgeon today. He showed us pictures of the two CT scans of my liver and the change is really pretty impressive. We had only read the report, we hadn't seen the pictures before. I hoped to get a better feel for what is to come, but didn't really learn much. He seemed reluctant to speculate before he sees the scans I will get after my 6th round of TCH (the chemo cocktail). So I guess there isn't much to do but wait and see how things look at the beginning of July. I'm not really a fan of "wait and see", I'm a planner and this is putting a real crimp in my style.
Back when Keith first came out here and we were looking for a place to rent, we looked at a place in Berkeley owned by a woman named Lily. I liked her; she was quirky and she would have been a difficult land lady, but she told me I was a "life surfer". I didn't really feel like one at the time, but I do these days. I'm just riding this wave, not sure where I'll end up, but trying my bestest to enjoy the trip.
The long weekend means no chemo for me until Tuesday. Hopefully that will go easily (fingers crossed by blood counts are good enough to go ahead with it!!). It will be a busy day over there with all the Monday folks squished in with the Tuesday folks.
