Trying to move on
Hi everyone!
I have been absent for awhile, trying to get on with life. I started the Her2 vaccine trial in San Antonio and had my 3rd vaccine today. So far so good! I have had very little side effects. I get the achy, bone pain the day of injection, but when I wake up the next day all is normal. I definitely recommend it for anyone who is considering the trial. It requires two days once a month. Not too bad!
I am having my first scans since completing treatment tomorrow and am feeling the butterfly sensation in my stomach! I know you all understand.
Moved to a new grade level in school this year, which has been overwhelming, I thought it would be a good distraction. Not sure it has worked out that way. Instead I feel a high level of stress which is not good for me! Just want to be able to move on to a comfortable place as a survivor.
Just wanted to update you on the trial. Hugs to everyone!
Elizabeth
