Big 5-0! Chemo, that is. I hit that milestone personally…ahem…a few years ago. Actually, I received radiation for my 50th birthday…kinda forgot about that until just now.
Today is Perjeta and Herceptin round #50, also known as Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab. These drugs are keeping my body stable, so it’s worth the effort. Hard to believe I’ve been here 50 times since my MBC diagnosis. I should get a cake or something.
. They give me these drugs for the HER2-Positive status. The brown bag is the Herceptin.
I have a room with a view today. I like the exterior rooms because I can see outside, although my back is to the window when I’m sitting here. One of my neighbors was apparently watching Star Wars, as I could hear the beeps and techno sounds of R2D2. My nurse is very efficient. Luck of the draw. You never know who you’re going to get.
Something’s beeping saying I’m ready for the final bag. Just another half-hour, a few minutes to flush, de-access the port, and then I will be free. Have a wonderful week everyone!
