Treatment #20

Wow, 20 weeks of treatment seems like a lot.  Looking back, I can't believe that it has been that many treatments already. 
I would classify this week as decent.  The end of the week was definitely better than the beginning.  Her hands and feet started bothering her a bit more and fatique was an issue for several days.
Dr. Margolis opted to skip the Abraxane treatment (Chemo) and just give mom the Herceptin (Protein) today.  I think we might be starting an every-other week of chemo treatments.  This will give mom's body a chance to recover a bit more between treatments.
Her hair is starting to grow back.  The back is gray, but the front and top are completely white.
Mom and Dad made a short road trip to have lunch with some of her Florida friends (about a 45 min drive) this week.  It is really great that she is still getting out and enjoying life.  She continues to have a great spirit.  The smile on her face continues to shine (most days).

  1. Great! It is good to know that Ida keeps smiling, knitting, shopping and going out for social visits. We had a wonderful time in Europe and are back to normal this week. UGA is in the horizon for older one. Best wishes and prayers!
