Grace, this is great news. So happy that you are okay.
My husband had to take me down to the ER about 6 weeks ago because I had a 6 day headache that was not going away, and the Tylenol 3's were not helping at all. I had finished my final Taxotere, was feeling pretty crappy all around, but that headache was there.
The ER doc happened to be a family friend, so we got great treatment, and he did a CT of my brain - it was perfect. Also gave me percosets, which helped immediately. The relief I felt when he told my CT was totally fine was immense - I burst into tears. I think it was a combination of the the stress of the dx, the hard chemo - 3 rounds of FEC, 3 rounds of Taxotere - you ladies here know it all.
I've had 2 infusions of Herceptin - felt pretty nauseous the first three weeks, much better after the 2nd one which was a week ago.
Good luck with your move.
all the best
