Chemo infusions: 10 down, 0 to go

After communicating with my oncologist yesterday, I went in today sure I would have 1 or 2 chemo infusions left but it was decided that we aren't going to push it any further, so I'm done!  

I did receive Herceptin today, which by itself takes about 1/3 as much time.  I will have Herceptin next Tuesday as well and from that point forward my Herceptin doses will spread out to every 3 weeks through the rest of the year.  I'm so glad my port doesn't give me any trouble but I will not be sad to see it go in 2017!

Now I wait for my body to get back to normal and then reconstruction picks back up again about a month from now with at least one surgery this summer.  

This is it for weekly updates!  I will touch base down the line so you know how I'm doing and that subsequent surgeries have been successful. 

Thank you all so much for your interest and support.  I hope that you never have cancer in your medical file, I hope that anybody who does benefits from this many people rooting for them, and I hope my experience will stick with you as an example of the wonder of early detection and you'll preach (loudly!) the benefits from here on out.
