weekly herceptin shots for metastasis

friday was my big day. just as the cancer hospital, Tata Memorial was closing for the weekend, i rcd an urgent call as my test results were all ready and randomization on the clinical trial was to be done. (results hv shown a metastasis in the spine and the liver and fluid in the lung). the verdict: a herceptin shot plus arimidex orally. it had to be administered imm and after it i got rigor and fever. the rigor settled down in abit and the fever took a couple of days(does that happen to most people? i had it with the zometa shot the week before too). the best part was that i was able to fly back and join the family. tomorrow i fly back to bombay for the next shot. they tell me that chemo will be given seaprately later.. and i suppose stretch the process.. they say this wd hv bn done whether i was on the trial or not.. next bit of monitoring in the ninth week of herceptin shots.. cross fingers.. love and parayers..arati
