Re: For those interested: Scripture Through the Her2 Fight

Good Morning Paula!!
May 20th had my 3rd treatment...whew...delayed reaction...(which was good) as I was able to be "physically" strong for my son's HS graduation May 25th!!
However, just about that evening and into the next 4 - 5 days...I was HIT hard...soooo weak, tired...no appetite...

I was receiving Herceptin once a week when I started, however, the nurse didn't seem to have quite enough knowledge as to my side effects of the chemo's at the local clinic I first started going to.

After having spoke with my Oncologist, we decided I could have my Herceptin/Taxatore/Carbo all together where I could be more closely monitored, etc.
It's at a hospital, with WONDERFUL medical staff...we drive an hour just the 21 days to get or more if needed (I'm sure people drive MUCH further), however I feel so grateful & blessed for the the personal way they take are of me...God truly is taking care of ALL my needs!!!

He will allow "trials" in this life...to show us we NEED Him!!!

Psalm 18:2 "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

Blessings!
