Up"Dates"

The newest updates:

Port insertion surgery will be next week, Wed., April 4.  No biggie...quick surgery...in and out and home!

Chemotherapy begins Thursday, April 12, then hair falls out 7-10 days later...perfect for hot weather! 
Chemo will be every 3 weeks for 6 cycles for two of the meds, then the final med, Herceptin for the remainder of the 12 month cycle.

We met with the nurse today and got the 'low down' on side effects and a grand tour of the facility...gotta love medical care...the cram 'em all in a room in recliners, then hook up the IV's...thank goodness for Kindles, Ipads and computers!
