Re: Newbie to this HER2+
Hi everyone,
My port was placed today. I'm uncomfortable but I'll get there. Had all my scans done yesterday and also the echocardiagram. The doctor who put my port in was also the doctor that read the CAT scan result. So, before the port I asked him to read it "Now", and he did! (I was so BOLD) No cancer on the CAT which scanned a bunch of me--brain, liver, lungs, pancreas, you name it. So now I'm just waiting for the bone scan and echocardiagram results.
I'm so blessed for that clean CAT scan!
Also, I picked out a gorgeous human hair wig on Tuesday and I'll be stunning!! I'll get that wig on Tuesday, September 29th.
I also signed up for look good, feel good and something called Chemoflauge here in Atlanta. Has anyone been to it?
God Bless everyone!
