Re: its back

Sorry for my absence. Turns out the spine MRI showed a tumor compressing my spine. So I had to have surgery 2 weeks ago. Most of the tumor was removed but some was too wrapped up in the spine and nerve that it was left. I start chemo, Herceptin and Perjeta tomorrow. Rads will follow just not sure when. My back is still crazy sore - I have a foot long incision. So treatment tomorrow could be a real challenge - I can't lay on my back at all and sitting is a challenge - need a pillow or 2. One a positive note - the brain scan was clear.

I am not looking forward to taxtore again....side effects are the pits. But if this buys me time, then so be it. Any insight, words of wisdom are welcome. Thanks!
