Smile Love from Kenya

Hi Christie,
Hope you are doing well today. Maybe they are giving you enough fluids before Adrainmycin, so you don't need the regular flushes. Since you are planning to get Herceptin every three weeks it will take you longer than a weekly dose would take, but the good thing is that you will only have to sit there every third week instead of every week. That will probably give you more time to recover and enjoy yourself. Whether or not a person has a reoccurance depends on alot of factors. Everyone is different. There are tests that try ot predict a person's chance of reoccurance. You can ask your doctor about those if you are interested in taking one of those tests, but even those tests are not 100% reliable.
Are there nutritionists, massage therapists, healing touch practioner's, physical therapists, exercise instructors, or naturopathic physicians in Kenya?
You might want to ask your doctor to introduce you to someone in those professions to help you keep your body strong during your treatment.
Your friends here will be thinking of you on Monday.
Take care. Stay positive.
