I'm feeling better emotionally today. Not so down. Yesterday I had a triple dose of Herceptin, so once I finish my LAST 2 DAYS of radiation, I will have a couple weeks off from hospital and doctors visit. It just seems unreal that I am almost done with radiation. Yesterday I had 3 appointments at the hospital: A muga scan (where they make sure my heart is still functioning well enough to continue Herceptin) radiation, then my oncologist visit and herceptin infusion. Makes for a long day! I'm feeling quite tired and a little nauseated tonight. Hopefully it won't last too long. My kids had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner tonight!
I went to Kathy's funeral on Monday. Something one of the speakers said has really stuck with me and put things into perspective. He said, "Birth is not the beginning, and death is not the end." It was a beautiful uplifting service. I am so glad that Dan was able to go with me. The speakers said over and over how great Rick (Kathy's husband) took such good care of her, and you could say the same thing about Dan.
