(2,312 posts)69. Feeling better!
Yesterday around mid-day, I realized I was feeling better...normal! It was such a strange feeling that it took me a while to process.
I just revelled in it for the rest of the day...and then I slept until 9:30!
Visited my surgeon yesterday. He told me two things that made me very happy: 1) Side effects after future chemos should basically be similar to what happened after #2 (meaning no new weird surprises), and 2) my treatment after surgery would be once-a-month infusions of herceptin, rather than once-a-week, which is what I thought it would be.
I even had some lasagne for dinner, it tasted not-bad, and my digestive system dealt with it just fine!

So far I haven't lost much on my head, mostly my beard. They say it will grow back, but different.

I've been wanting to try that, but now it seems I have an aversion to potatoes.
