Elaine-
Thank you for your kind, encouraging words & your generous offer to help me connect with an Onc while here in Hawaii.
I returned to Straub because I had gotten my Herceptin there before on a previous extended visit home a few years back.And my cousin and his wife both work at Straub-in fact the nurses that took care of me each asked if we were related, so I knew I was in good hands. The Onc that I saw was very kind and gentle with me and reassured me that a 5 day break from the daily chemo would not be irreversibly detrimental and that my body could really use the break.
I had hoped that we might have the opportunity to meet, but this trip was just too difficult. I'll be home again soon and we'll have to arrange to meet then!
I don't know how I'm going to leave this beautiful island and my family. I may cry the entire 9hr flight back
A hui hou~
