First Taxol/Herceptin Chemo

I had my first of my “new” chemo today. Due to various scheduling and supply problems we were at the hospital all day. BUT none of the possible allergic reactions happened. I was a bit nervous about that, so YAY, it didn’t happen. So far nothing bad, just a little loopy, like thinking I need to type “I’ll be away from the computer” to my chatroom friends, when what I had been doing was watching a video. And like writing sentences like that one. And leaving them in (It was Roseanne and Bill Maher. I’m sure they missed me while I was getting a snack.)

Also, my doc is on vacation but the “sub” said my scans were clean, no more suspicious spots outside the breast, and I think he said the lymph nodes are clear. I still might not get to keep them though. But

YAY

Also the 8cm in some direction or directions, amorphous blob, has (as I thought I felt it had) resolved into three 2 or 3 cm pea shaped things with some space between. There is a lot less of it, in other words.

This poor guy is gonna look young forever. The BF keeps calling him Doogie but up close I could see he was actually older. But he was quite enthusiastic and happy about my progress even though he couldn’t keep straight which chemos I was switching between. Oh well he was mostly there to give me good news and look at my vitals for today. He did fine.
