Well, I didn't have my radiation simulation this week. Seems they messed up the scheduling and didn't realize that I was going to be out for 2 weeks. they said that they had to do the simulation only when I could start radiation soon after... so I am getting it on June 15. Looks like it entails getting a CT scan right there and then they map you out and mark you for where you will get th radiation. Now it seems like I will be tattooed and not have sharpy marks on me but I guess I won't really know until it happens.
Seems swimming will still be out though, because pool water is too hard on your skin.
Had my echocardiogram on Thursday then went for my IV that had a dose for three weeks of Herceptin. My veins will have three weeks off! Yahoo! Getting IVs just does not get less painful each time...
Started my Tamoxifen and haven't noticed any side effects yet. I mean, I might be getting hot flashes, but I was getting them before on and off anyway.
I guess I'll have more news in 2 weeks. Looking forward to my visit to Toronto where I'll be working for the next 1.5 weeks starting Tuesday.
I hope you are all well!
Later,
Mo

Mo, lovely to see you! And thanks for the goodies. I wore my new red wig to JP's choral concert last night, and he didn't recognize me in the audience. What a laugh!! We'll have to compare photos of each other in the wig and see who it suits more. I'm thinking you will win, but I do like the swish of long hair. XX
