I get to receive IT HERCEPTIN in AZ!!!!!!

[dchips1]

My Oncology called , we are off the The neurosurgeon for Ommaya placement and the Herceptin will be done at my oncology office. Yeah GOD!! Little fearful of the surgery, and it being flu season, but I do not want a next time for CNS mets to try to put me in the sad place!!

Prayers to all, I may not post all the time, but I pray, laugh and cry with the rest of the community. As a Nurse when first diagnosed this was a place I found to take care of my Nurse patient inquires, THANK YOU LANI, and other pioneers, to help me with my family and friends and mom side of me as well.
Prayers for those who are still jumping through hoops to get what you need. Prayers for healing and Happy Days
