Another Herceptin Treatement

I had another Hercpetin treatment yesterday and am happy to report that there were no side effects. I have been battling an upper respiratory infection this week and seem to have slipped backward a bit today, but that may just be due to being tired.

The weekend before I had the privilege of attending a breast cancer retreat sponsored by Johns Hopkins called "returning to nature." It was a wonderful weekend. We went bird watching, canoeing and hiking. The other women were so supportive. There were even a few close to my age with young children - which is sad. The retreat was open to anyone who has completed the bulk of their treatment within the last three years.

This week I returned from a one week whirlwind visit to see my brother and his family in Tokyo. It was so wonderful to meet my two nephews (2 and 3 years old) for the first time and see my niece Gabby (6 years old) again. Mark was a saint and held down the fort in my absence.

I have an appointment with my plastic surgeon on the 10th of May for a consultation regarding my reconstructive surgery. I will update the blog after that meeting.
