Enhertu infusion #2

[Warrior77]

I had my second Enhertu infusion yesterday without a hitch. The breast cancer center I go to has the infusion center on the second floor and the oncology offices on the first floor so it’s all very easy and convenient to get in and out of. It’s part of Orlando Health and this center is in Ocoee. My oncologist moved to this location several years ago and it’s much easier than driving to and parking in downtown Orlando. As we all know, it’s the little things on this journey that can ease the angst, and this little thing does a lot for me.

Yesterday they gave me a room with a view of the pond. We saw some interesting birds around the pond and looked them up in my Merlin birding app, so that helped pass the time. They changed my Enhertu infusion length from 90 minutes to 30. I talked about it with my oncologist before the infusion and he assured me it wouldn’t change any reaction to it, so I let it stay at 30 to see what happened. The answer is, nothing really, other than I got done and was home an hour earlier. I was a little more tired that night, but I’ve been getting up and walking at sunrise so I can’t really blame evening weariness on the infusion since I got up and walked that day. The conversation with my oncologist helped. He’s a straight shooter and wouldn’t do anything that would make the patient experience worse.

So that’s my uneventful 2nd infusion. When the pre-infusion meds wear off in a few days I’ll check back in and let you all know if I have another 2-day nap.

Stay strong and march on!

I love that they gave you a nice view and I am praying that your side effects are minimal.

I love that your infusion went well!! Gives me hope for my second infusion next Thursday. The first round was so horrible and I’m barely recovered from it.

Thank you so much!! 🩷🩷🩷

Got up today and walked 2.3 miles then went to a sound bath meditation. I’m really focused on taking care of my body as best I can, at least what’s in my control. I have found that everything feels better when I move regularly and I’m less stressed when I meditate in some form. I have to come first!

I have a friend here in AZ who has a sound bath studio and she is very successful - I like to think it is because she practiced on me! If you are ever in the Phoenix area her biz is called Shanti Sound. I love it - I told my husband it is napping in public

Sending prayers for continued easy infusion and treatment success. It's calming to have a nice view

Wonderful view. Good to hear your treatment is going smoothly.

Lovely view for your infusion!Hopefully the fatigue and nausea will be minimal this time.

I have been having about three days of sleepiness during the period after the pre- meds wear off.

My infusion lasts about an hour. I have had it every three weeks since January.

Sleepiness really has been my only side effects other than initially losing my hair which is now growing back.

I am quite pleased with Enhertu.

I'm pleased to hear all this. And how great that your hair has started to grow back again!

What a beautiful view and the fact that you can look up birds to distract you? Amazing. I’m glad Enhertu is going well for you, I hope the future infusions are the same and you get a long time on this medication.
