Hi Friends-
I've been in Hawaii now for ~3weeks and would have been due for my Herceptin yesterday.Amidst all that we've been dealing with -hospice, my father's passing & making arrangements for his services- I'm very delayed in finding an Onc to see me and get my Herceptin.
I have received Herceptin here @a local hospital on a previous visit (5yrs ago),
so I'm still in their system, but I still have to see their Onc first before I can get my infusion.
My appointment with him isn't until next week Thursday, then Herceptin not until a week from Monday, on 4/30. That means it will have been 32 days since my last infusion.
Is this going to be okay? I'm just feeling nervous & edgy and especially desperate to keep this disease under control right now, and of course for as long as possible.

Thanks for your thoughts~

Keep the faith,

Jessica
