CT scan results were very positive . I had scan on Feb 1 the oncologist called me today to say that she was really pleased with the results of the scan and suggested that I do 2 more treatments of the Paclitaxel and then continue with the Pertuzumab & Trastuzumab every 3 weeks .
I have completed 2 rounds so far and feel better than I have in 8 months . I still have a very laryngitis sounding voice and I my oncologist again today about a referral to see if it can be fixed . I want to talk again and not have to repeat everything I say . I love to talk lol .
I guess the moral to my story is .... just because it is IV a chemo and treatment does not always mean the side effects will be worse .

What a beautiful floral arrangement! My thoughts were sidetracked😊 Just want to say so very happy with your good results!
Hi Luann,
That is wonderful news! I’m so pleased for you. It’s such a relief when good news comes our way. It gives us a breather and the ability to carry on without the stress and worry of what comes next.
Congrats on a good scan. Chemo isn’t as bad as I thought it would be either. I know it depends on the drug but mine has been ok. Your flowers are lovely.
Thank you ,flowers help with my mental health so much . Not that I want to wish away my treatment options but I wish I had been switched 8 months ago . Even the 5 radiation treatments that made my throat so sore for about 2 weeks were worth it for how much they helped also . Hopefully I will get a few more years out of these treatments and feel well also .Are you on IV a chemo or pill form ?
Hi Luann: Nice picture. Spring. Glad to read your post this morning. I am looking at IV Chemo as I am not happy about taking Everolimus. I am not to happy about having a port put in but that is minor considering the whole picture.
The port is uncomfortable for a day or two BUT a I am so glad I have it . I highly recommend it . I had a pic line 18 years ago and would also recommend that if you don’t want the port . But once healed the port is very easy and no worry if it gets wet . All the best to you June .
Such Great News!! I'm so Happy for You!!! I too hope this treatment goes a long way for you and that you have quality of life with it!! Love the flower arrangement I worked at a floral shop for years but the long hours at holidays where not fun. I would be so exhausted I couldn't enjoy the time with my family on the holiday. So I gave it up and went elsewhere. Take Care and celebrate🎉🎈🌷🌷🌷🌷🍀
Hi , thank you for the well wishes . You are correct with the floral industry and holidays , it is a challenge at holidays to balance family . I was a 25 year owner & designer . But I miss the designing terribly and do some from my home studio for the last 2 years . I hoping this new treatment will have me feeling well enough to do some freelance work in a local flowershop .
the positive scan news makes the heart happy. hope you celebrate the scan results and you. i love tulips, and the ones pictured are vibrant. may the vibrance of them and the scan results bring joy and ease.
I’ve been moved to Kadcyla due to progression to brain. Kadcyla passes through the blood brain barrier. Projeta does not. So make sure u get your brain scanned once a year as your meds don’t cover it...😀
