I'm Tattooed!

Today was busy. Phew! In the morning I had my CT for radiation. It was pretty uneventful except that I now sport three freckle sized tattooes. I have one in the center of my chest and one on each side below my armpits. This will allow them to align me in the same position each time for radiation. Now I wait for them to call me once they have my treatment plan complete. Hopefully end of next week.

My pelvic ultrasound went fine, too. I should know the results by Friday. Think good thoughts.

My week of appts is only half over. I get Herceptin on Thursday and Friday I'm getting my third MUGA scan to check my heart function. Next Thursday, I will get a triple dose of Herceptin that allows me to go once every 3 weeks. Before I get that mega dose, we need to know my heart is still strong and ready for it.

Four appts in one week makes me tired. Phew!! Love, srb
