Weekly Treatment and Updates

I had my weekly herceptin treatment Thursday.  Dr. got my weekly blood work and my platelets are low.  So that means two shots in the tummy, one Thursday and one on Friday to get back to a normal level.  I have not been able to bounce back from this last chemo treatment as in the past.  The doctor said that is perfectly normal and for me to expect the same in my last two treatments.  As I get further into the treatments, my body is taking in more chemo and it will take longer to recover.  So the next two treatments I will have to listen to what my body is telling me and rest when I need too.  I am so thankful I have God, family and friends to rely on, to keep me strong and pushing through these next two treatments.

My hands seem to be getting slightly worse and they itch like crazy.  I may have to break down and fill the prescription for the steriod.  I am looking forward to watching some football this weekend and relaxing.
