Thank you so much Lily for letting all of our angels know how I made out. They pumped me up with pre meds twice because I was being a bad girl. My port gave the nurse a great blood return at first then it acted up so I had to have a TPA that took two to three hours so I recieved double of my pre meds because of the time. But I made it thank the dear lord. I did have a fever this morning but I am good now. Thank you all so much for the prayers you are all angels and I love you all. So only time will tell but I have a good feeling that this treatment will work. I will go for more Abraxane and herceptin this week and get the carboplatin once a month. If I keep doing good on the carbo I won't have to stay overnight just go in the morning and come home the same day that will be great.
