Scans Downtown

 I really don't love fighting traffic to get to downtown Dallas for appointments, but it's not to bad when the people are so kind.  And, when I get a free gown and non-slip socks!

I was able to be worked in STAT-like.  The problem was the availability left me with a 7:00am appointment!!!!  That's not a good thing for me to think about having to wake up that early and trudge through morning traffic.  Thankfully, my aunt came into tow, and we made an overnighter of it in a hotel next to the hospital.  What a needed blessing!


We arrived on time, but CRNAs who access ports don't arrive until 7:30.  I insisted, though.  My veins have been wrecked over the years, and if there was one thing that could ruin a potentially easy day [other than nothing to eat until after both scans] it was a needle in the arm, trying to find a vein.  Thankfully, a lovely port accessor arrived a little earlier than 7, and everyone working with me that day was a peach!  









Soon, it was time to head home and rest and wait for the results.

Enhertu# 10 + High Liver Enzymes

 I have been falling behind on life lately.  

  

I let some major stresses start to take over my life, and let other things get left off the list.  


I'm feeling better and ready to do a little catch up.



October 12, 2021:

appointment with Alisa.

Asked lots of questions.  

Should I get a flu shot and a Covid Booster?--yes.  [done]

How are liver enzymes?  Still low, but better.  

What to do about that?  Move up the scans, just to be sure tumors haven't grown up again to block the bile duct again.  

[Simple mermaid costume, as this was my only appointment before Halloween this year.  


What can I do?  






I've made it to TEN DOSES of Enhertu!  
Hopefully the scans will show that it's still working for me and kicking cancer to the curb.
