After my radiation treatment, I am scheduled for last chemo blood tests and visit with Dr. Paterson. After several abortive attempts (even with my port!) we give up trying to get blood. My Herceptin shots are not dependent on blood tests so no big deal.
I see Dr. Paterson for my MUGA cardiac test results from last week. I aced it, and in fact my heart performance was better than when I had it done before I started on the drug. That's good news. Also good, I don't see Dr. Paterson again for 3 months as I am doing well 6 weeks after chemo has finished. Unfortunately, I still have side effects from the chemo which will take a few months to dissipate. The mouth sores don't want to go away and I am losing some of my fingernails.
