Yet Another New Plan

Well, since Doxil is something I'm severely allergic to, we're leaving it behind. Although I'm bummed to take off the table a drug that could be effective against the cancer, I do highly value breathing. So we're switching plans.

It will be Navelbine + Herceptin, beginning June 9. Those are also infusions at the medical center, as opposed to pills at home.

I developed a fever in the middle of the night last night (not bad but at the level where I need to go in to see if I have an infection). At 5:30 this morning B took me in to Urgent Care and long story short, I don't have an infection. That took 2 1/2 hours and a bunch of tests to conclude. The fever is probably from one or both of the drugs I received yesterday. 

So it's been kind of an exhausting 24 hours, and I'm taking it totally easy today. 

There are various appointments ahead - a bone scan May 27 to get the whole bone story, a heart scan (aka MUGA) on June 6, which I've had about 8 times before and is standard when one is on Herceptin, and another fun "Menopause Now" injection at the end of this month. (That really wasn't too bad but I will spare you some of the weird details about it).

I wanted to get this update out, and now I will go on to something completely unrelated to medical treatments, like a walk, my book, Wordament (a Boggle-like game on my phone), and maybe some bad TV later tonight!
