Another Round Down

Keith and I had fun celebrating his birthday on Monday. While he went for a bike ride I whipped up a yummy chocolate cake. I used the raspberries from the farmers' market on top (oooh they were so sweet you wouldn't believe it). We managed not to get into the cake until after we had a delicious dinner at FISH. Unfortunately the birthday present I ordered him still hasn't arrived! I should have paid for the quick shipping, urgh.

My blood counts were good enough to get chemo yesterday. I'm still anemic, but not terribly so. I guess I'll just keep on with my beef soup and other iron rich foods (quinoa, lentils, spinach...) and I should be ready for the next round.

I feel fine, pretty lazy, some heart burn, but I managed to walk two miles with good old

Red today.

I talked with my oncologist about what is coming up. I was trying to figure out how to schedule a vacation. It sounds like I'll get a three week dose of herceptin with my next round of chemo. This will give us some flexibility to go away without having to schedule it around infusions. Two weeks after my next chemo I'll get several scans done to check on how things are looking. Those scans will determine what the next steps will be (can't wait!).
