Day 64
Round four under my belt now! Went really well, the nurse managed to get it in first time which was a relief after last time. Also had to see the doctor as I have not seen a consultant since August. My MRI date is the 13th November and they cannot decide on my future treatment until they have the results of this but according to the doctor I have lots of options still. Even if the docetexel is not working there are other forms of chemo they can throw at me. She even spoke of me continuing on the herceptin after - but you can also have docetexel and herceptin together. She said the herceptin had worked because my breast lump has not come back nor the tumours on my lungs and lymph nodes. That made me feel so much better! Of course I am worried that the chemo is not working. That is only natural. I had quite a lot of pain last week in the liver area and then I woke up Thursday morning and I felt 'different'. I am not in any pain at the moment and I am buzzing from the steroids so I am actually feeling really good just now!
