Was just online looking at the side effects of Herceptin (the drug I take because the second recurrence was HER2+ and that blocks that receptor) (FYI: HER2 breast cancer is more likely to spread to the brain) It looks like any little symptom and I can blame it on that! HAHAHA! Actually, from reading other breast cancer discussion boards, once I get off the steroids I should feel alot better: sleep, my face won't be the size of a full moon, they say I'll be nicer (won't that be nice!).
Right now here are the drugs I'm on:
Antiseizure pill for post surgical precaution (hopefully only for 6 months)
Herceptin IV infusion once a week for the rest of my life so cancer doesn't come back in body.
steroids for brain swelling (hopefully wean off soon!)
Then, all the medications for the steroid side effects: (which is all bowel related, so I'll spare you the details!)
This is for a woman that took Flinstone chewables when pregnant because I couldn't remember to take the vitamins!!!! I have to have all my meds in my phone to remember when to take what!
What a new life I am learning to lead! The Lord leads you in new paths, so I am excited to follow his lead!
