One step back
I saw the doctor today while I was getting my herceptin. I told him the short version of my recent problems. He thought that most of the side effects were from the high dose of steroids. As my balance is worse than ever, the steroids aren't working so he cut my dose in half.
The pill chemo were going to keep doing. Their side effects aren't bad enough to stop.
The steroids are to fix my brain problems. Without that option it's a short list of choices. After the next MRI in September I'll get to hear what the choices are. For now I'm tired, clumsy and going to bed.

Hey girl,
I hope you are waking up today and feeling some better. I'm sorry the doctor didn't have any great fix for the most recent problems. I'm sure you will be glad to be weaning off those steroids at least.

Hi Missy,
So sorry that you are experiencing these side effects and hope there has been an improvement since your last entry.
For you.. an old favorite of mine that remind me of you.
"I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!"
