Treatment #21

Mom had a good week.  I think there was just one day that she was feeling really bad.  Otherwise, most days she felt good.
Today she received both drugs (Herceptin and Abraxane).  Next week, she will only get the Herceptin.  We will only be getting the one drug every other week.
Dr. Margolis is a really nice man.  I think we make him laugh more than most other patients.  He always has a smile on his face when we leave.  Today was a pretty classic checkup appointment.  He asked mom how her energy level was.  Mom's response was "really good, I was able to clean the toilets and sinks yesterday."  Dr. M basically didn't know what to say, he managed a good laugh and a "I don't even know what category to put that in."  He indicated that most patients talk about being able to get dressed or feed themselves.  In all of years of practice, no one ever mentioned a good week being able to clean toilets.  Actually, I am still chuckling about his reaction.
Well, so glad that you are taking a little bit of time to check in with us.  We appreciate all of the support.

  1. I am chuckling too! Good to know Ida is enjoying activities. May god bless her with more energy. Last weekend went to Boston with the girls. Weather was beautiful. So it was fun visiting Howard, MIT, Tea Party area, River front, Quincy market etc. At market saw many bakery items and remembered Ida as she is so talented in that area! Best wishes and prayers!
