treatment update
Monday I went to the cancer center and saw my oncologist. She decided to treat me with navelbine as well as herceptin. When I asked her why just a single chemo, she stated that she didn't want to blow the whole wad right now, that she wanted to leave me alternatives. She also recommended that I see my regular doc who is a pulminologist about my cough. I had my 1st treatment and then when I got home developed a fever and chills. Luckily it went away overnight with some tylenol. I went to see my regular doc in the morning and he put me on prednisone 3x a day, tusso dmr capsules 3x a day and a claritin. I had a beathing test done and my lung function was down. So the plan is to get my cough under control so I can have a bronchoscopy done. I will see him again on the 9th and hopefully we will set a date for this procedure. In the meantime I will continue on the navelbine 3x a month and herceptin 2x a month. That is my story and I'm sticking to it.
