Well today is my first day of "maintenance therapy" or mini chemo as I like to call it. This will go on every three weeks for 13 cycles, so I will be done with this sometime in September, fingers crossed.
The good news is that these two medicines are supposed to be easier to deal with. Yay for that! However, one of them is hard on the heart, so that is a concern. I will have to have an echo cardiogram every three months to check my heart muscle function.
For the most part things are going well. My MRI results showed that the tumor shrunk by 2/3. Which is great! We still have to make the surgery decision. This is hard for me. I am worried about making the wrong decision. I trust my doctors and their recommendations, but ultimately it is up to Josh and me, and it's scary. Even though my scans were good there is still the fear that the cancer will come back at some point. I guess that will never go away. Cancer the gift that keeps on giving.
My hair is starting to grow back which is weird, but my toenails are trying to fall off. Nice. Lovely side effects from chemo.
