Herceptin again lol..........Thursday August 11

Well another herceptin down.  I got good news I had an echo done and tumor markers, my echo was normal so my heart is doing good and my tumor markers are down from 85 to 77.  So, things are coming along.  I started a new medication avanistin which will help also.  I seem to be moving right along which is good.

I still have reactions from the chemo but things are starting to get a little better.  The numbness in my hands and feet is there but better, my legs do not hurt as much.  I am working on my nails and toe nails.  Got a bad fungus so that is going to take time but it will get better. My eye lashes are starting to come back and eye brows.  And my hair it is coming in slowly.......I hope the grey stays away  lol......

I was started on medicine for depression, the chemo put me into menopause so been emotional, not only about my health but also about my dad.  It is helping but of course you have to work on healing yourself which is what I am doing.

The knee I dislocated gets sore which I am sure is normal when I walk a lot.  I just have to hang in there with that. Things will get better.

My husband has been by my side through it all and still continues.  When I am down he brings me up, and believe me I do have those days.  He tells me I am beautiful and I always see the love in his eyes.  He is my life and I am so grateful for him.

I need to continue to be strong and with my husband, family and friends I know I can.  I wake up and think of all the things I am grateful for in my life and then start my day.  Things will come together I just have to take one day at at time.
