The Sea is Calm..

 

It's been a while since I last posted in my blog.  I'm so lazy with these things.. and I suppose I've been trying to get on with life too!


In the past couple of weeks, I've had a 'one year post-diagnosis' mammogram, ultrasound, and MRI scan of my boobs.  All came back 'normal', which was a huge relief!
These scans were only of the boob area, so I'm well aware it's no indication of what's going on in the rest of my body.  I just have to keep my fingers crossed that there's nothing bad going on in the rest of my body.

I'm still on the Herceptin journey.  I've had six doses now (one IV infusion, every three weeks), and will be having number seven next week.
They've all been relatively uneventful (thankfully).  The main drawbacks are waiting hours to see the oncologist, and the chemo nurses playing 'hunt the vein'.
I've had a few MUGA heart scans now, to keep a check on how my heart's coping with Herceptin, as it an cause heart damage and heart failure in some people.  But I was pleased to hear that my heart function doesn't seem to have decreased.


Love life..
James and me have been together just over six months now.
We're having a good time (at least I am.. I hope he is too!), and are hoping to be going on a cruise in October.  We should be booking it within the next few days, so I'm looking forward to that!


So, it's been a pretty good few weeks/months, all in all.. Long may it continue! Smile
