Latest test results.

I had my regular treatment of Herceptin and Zometa Tuesday.  I also had my blood drawn for tumor marker tests again.  You know it is bad news when the doctor calls you personally first thing the next morning.  My tumor markers had another big jump.  The doctor told me they wished I would have started the Taxol when I had my Zometa/Herceptin infusion.  I have been rationalizing the delay, but I know it would be unwise to delay too much longer.  The Dr. told me that Her2+ cancer has a higher chance of metastasizing to the brain, and I need to get it under control sooner rather than later.  Also there is a chance that the cancer will be resistant to Taxol, so the sooner we know whether or not it will work, the better.

We have a vacation planned August 6-12 and I plan on starting chemo again August 19th.  That is only 18 more days.  Yuck.

I think it will be harder this time to start aggressive chemo again than the first time.  The Dr. told me that the side effects happen sooner the 2nd time.  I already know exactly what to expect.

I do have to share something that brought a smile to my face and brightened my day last week.  Early Friday morning, there was a knock at the door.  A package was waiting for me on the porch.  I didn't remember ordering anything, so was very curious to see what was in the package.  It felt like my birthday. 
     Inside the box was the most adorable, whimsical fairy.  This picture doesn't do it justice.  It has the sweetest little details, pink ribbons, delicate wings, and jeweled shoes.  It just made me laugh!  So, thank you to my Grandma Laughter (fitting last name, huh) and my aunts Stacy and Jan, and my cousins, Ashley, Hollee, Shanna, and Ashlyn.  The timing was perfect, and I enjoy looking at my cute little fairy every day! 
   I also received the most thoughtful cards from my Mom and Aunt Cheryl yesterday.  It never ceases to amaze me, and shouldn't surprise me anymore, that whenever I am feeling down, my family and friends are inspired to brighten day. 
    So no matter how down I am feeling, I don't feel that way for very long because of all of the kindness that is shown to me.

Then inquire about its security method. Purchase only from a store that's louis vuitton handbags equipped with a secure transaction program so you do not bother about putting your credit card information in jeopardy. Spend ample time shopping around. Do not buy from the very first store which you see as you will discover plenty of possibilities on the net. Compare rates thoroughly and study the terms and conditions before having a purchase.
