Dear Steph,
I logged on tonight, hoping to get an update on just how you are doing and, oh my; what a run you have had with your dad! This is a hard time for you; the emotional turmoil and questions of what to do are so difficult. And then to read, 5 years on Herceptin...you are an incredible warrior to be brave enough to voluntarily take a 3 month break...how relieved I am to read that you are still in the "well-zone". I am kicking up my heels for you! I am so heartened as well, to hear your comments on Dr. Slamons latest musings; I hope and pray he is right, for all of us.
It sounds like, all things considered, then that you are ok.
I too, am ok. Still, at this point, NED. Struggling, with salmon, flax and daily exercise to keep my MUGA within acceptable limits. Other than this pesky Stage 4 diagnosis, I am healthier than I have ever been!
So God-speed my dear soul sister; stay calm and well in the storm of your dads ups and downs... and lets stay tuned to D. Slamon's good words!
Love Kim from CT
ps In the not too distant past, I had stints as a nurse and nsg home administrator...if I can offer any help with your dad, feel free to email me.
