Company

We had company on Friday for the first time since I started chemotherapy in April. John's parents, sister and niece spent the night before continuing on to New Jersey for the Fourth of July picnic. I made dinner and then breakfast this morning and I did not tire myself out. I am still feeling good.

On Thursday I had my 12th infusion which means that I have only six more to go. I was almost not able to have my infusion because I had not had my EKG which had been scheduled for 8:30 am that day. Guess what? No one had called me to let me know it had been scheduled and no one had called to remind me. I cannot go to something that I do not know about. There was a mad scramble to get me an EKG before 1 pm and somehow they managed to get it done because I was not about to postpone my infusion. Someone was going to die if I had not had that infusion. Here I am doing everything right and some stupid scheduler who does not do her job, jeopardizes my treatment ... blooming idiot!

This was my Herceptin infusion so I didn't have any significant side effects. I'm just trying to drink a lot of fluids to flush the drug out of my system as soon as I can ... I can't stand the smell of it in my urine ... it just reminds me of what is in me.

Next Thursday is my fifth TCH and then I will have only one left. I've got my liquids (soups) purchased for next week. But in the meantime I am going to enjoy the long weekend!
