I’m doing okay, thank you, Face.

Tomorrow is my next chemo session, but without the nasty drugs.

My oncologist wants me to undergo radiation. I refused. Radiation
causes cancer, and it destroys healthy cells to the point where they
cannot naturally repair themselves. IOW, they cannot heal properly.

I will be getting an infusion of Herceptin, which has a few side
effects, more than I realized. I looked it up, and it causes tachy-
cardia (the worst one) and other heart problems, sleep disruption,
depression, and a few more in descending order of unpleasantness.

I have to get it every three weeks until the middle of December.

We’ll keep praying.

I am tacky enough without a drug. I’m sorry you have to endure one.
