Just finishing up the 24th doses of Herceptin and Perjeta. It's so crazy how my life has become chunked into these 3-week periods. But, we keep on pushing forward.
This morning I woke up feeling nauseous. I took something to help, tried to lie down for 5 minutes, but threw up in the sink, anyway. I've also been experiencing some blurred vision, off and on, for about a month. It comes and goes, even within the same day, but I'll notice that looking off into the distance, everything is blurry, and even trying to read can be difficult. I asked the nurse to pass on the info to Dr. F, and she speculated that this might be a residual symptom from the meningitis. I meet with her again on Friday morning to discuss a few things.
Summer has been going well, thankfully. We enjoyed a restorative week at the beach, and the boys are excited about a new summer schedule, which rewards them with money and screen time for helping out around the house and yard, as well as doing activities that keep their brains thinking.
So, life goes on, as it does for us all, with its ups and downs, the fantastic moments and the dull, and we try to take advantage of every day, trying to out run cancer for as long as we can.
