Her appointment today raised questions of possible secondary cancer from the chemo or radiation.

Her white blood cell count leads the doctors to suspect further cancer growth.
Tests in 3 weeks, then decide whether to suspend the Herceptin and search for the cancer.
This is worse than the first diagnosis, you hang that date in front of you and the fucking cancer takes it away .

I'm so sorry to hear this! Keeping her in my thoughts and prayers!

Thanks Eli!

What Eli is referencing is that one of the Chemo nurses who has become a sort of close friend of Debs reviewed her blood results "unofficially".

Completely off the record, She informed us that the blood report looks like 98% of the typical reports she sees with women doing similar treatments.

Like everything else on this roller coaster, it's a big swing from just a few days ago...but in itself is an encouraging turn!

It highlights the fact that these doctors go mostly off interpretation of statistics, coupled with individual wishes and the biological response to treatments.

We have come to the conclusion that the "highs and lows" of what the doctors say, if taken verbatim, are not worth the stress.

On that note, we are just going to take it as it comes, and be thankful that through all of this, Deb has never even felt sick or been anything more than a little tired at times.

Hoping for the best Tommy. They took labs on me early last week to check my stuff out and I'm still waiting to hear the results. I go in today for my Bleomycin treatment so I'm gonna hit them up for my results. Hopefully the markers are dropping fast.

Yes a little better this morning. I kinda feel like its finally flushing out of me at the moment. I was up a lot last night peeing so I'm thinking it's finally coming out of me. I don't think I hydrated enough this weekend so I'm gonna get them to run a bag of fluids through me today to help with the flush.
