Great news on your heart. It is good to have a nice strong heart. Not so good news on the other things.
Good luck with the additional radiation. Maybe the Herceptin and Abraxane will kick some of the cancer to the curb. I hope so.
I was reading an article about combining Herceptin, Tykerb and Taxol (Abraxane is actually Taxol with a different easier to tolerate binder.)It is supposed to be a great combo too. You haven't had Herceptin in awhile. Maybe adding it now will surprise the cancer to the point it will give up. I hope so.
If you have a blender and you or someone else has the energy to add some fruit, fruit juice, yoghurt, almond milk or regular milk to the Ensure and blend it all together it might taste better. You could throw in some protein powder or some Carnation instant breakfast drink for variety too. It would give you some extra nutrition and protein. I don't know if they still make it, but Boost used to have some good berry or tropical fruit flavored juice. When I don't feel like making a full breakfast I mix a package of instant oatmeal, with hot water and some dried fruit for a pretty healthy start to the day. I eat that with some yoghurt. In fact a cup of yoghurt makes a great snack too.
We are all keeping our fingers crossed for you Pam. Hang in there. New drugs and new drug combinations will be on the market soon.
Take good care of yourself. Good luck with everything.
