Hey Peeps!!!
Man you all are quick I just logged on and was lost in a long thread about spray cheese...quite fascinating.
I have been doing well...haven't logged in here in forever. Quick update is that I am currently coasting along on Xeloda and have finished 5 of 6 scheduled cycles. No more Herceptin for me - my pathology changed to Her2 negative.
just had scans due to liver (or right upper quadrant pain) of which lasted for about a month and a half before I told my oncologist...I was waiting to see if blood work went screwy, which it never did. He ordered a CT scan and I got the all clear - whew!
Been busy with the family (now 2, 4, and 6 years old) and work. So that is it in a nutshell!
I will be heading to Dallas in February for the YSC breast cancer conference...anybody going from here?
I hope you all are doing WONDERFUL and having happy holidays!
