Cool update on me

Hello all, I have been getting biweekly treatments of taxol and herceptin. I am doing well with this except for some side effects like numbness and joint pain and sinus issues. I just went on disability coz work was getting to be a bit much for me. I had my treatment yesterday and saw my onc and had asked her about my yearly mammogram. I was told that since I was being treated currently that I would not require a mammogram. Is this the norm? Just curious. Also would appreciate a prayer for dad as he fell again and had more bleeding in his brain. This time they had to operate and make a large incision to clean out the dried stuff from before and drain the new to ease the pressure. He seems to be doing ok, but is a little out of it still. Will keep you posted.
