Day Fifty Eight

It was really good today to be able to tell people some good news for a change! I didn't sleep much last night, I was too excited! Makes a nice change. I had a check this morning in the shower, the lump has definitely shrunk - it is actually visibly smaller now and things are looking more how they should. I thought it had but you are too scared to think it in case you are wrong. Had a look at Herceptin on the interweb - some of those sites are really scary. Apparently I am one of only approximately 20% of breast cancer sufferers who are able to have this drug. It increases survival rates by an amazing amount. The type of cancer that I have is a nasty one, that explains why it has spread so quickly, but with this drug, I have better survival rates. I have said it before, and no doubt I will say it again, aren't I a lucky girl.
