Update on Barb
I wanted to stop by, say hello, and give you all an update on my warrior Barb. After 7 treatments of Perjeta/Herceptin/Taxotere all seems well. She had her last treatment the 21st and the only glitch shes had is a small spot of skin mets on her stomach just below her left breast. Her radiation onco treated the area with electron treatments ending the 14th. Right now shes a little uncomfortable with the area as its peeling and itching with a little weeping. Other than this shes doing really well, she has a down week after treatment but has bounced back for two good weeks then its off for another treatment. We lost her father a month ago which was hard on her but hey 92 years is a good long life. Were looking forward to a nice summer around our pool and watching our grandsons play baseball. I continue to check in when I can and have seen the loss of a couple fighters along the way. My heart goes out to all of you and your families this is such a tough fight on everyone. We can only hope and pray that one day this wont be as big a monster as it has been in the past. KEEP UP THE FIGHT we love and appreciate you all.
