Today's post is bitter sweet. Following my muga scan earlier this week, I saw my oncologist for blood work before the resumption of my Heceptin on Friday. My MUGA results are not good - a decrease actually- and the oncologist actually just wanted to remove my port and simply cancel the rest of the treatments. I convinced him to leave it until after I talk to the cardiologist but, after seeing him, I am doubtful that the treatments will restart.
I was pretty upset, but after reading more on Herception, maybe it is not that bad. I just feel so betrayed by my body - I don't really have any say as it hinges on my heart improving.

hair and more hair
First may I say that I almost have a full head of hair. Unfortunately, I also have a chin full.
Since early February, I have been noticing increased hair growth, notably on top of my head. Office staff who worked every couple of days or so always comment on how much more hair I have since the last time they were in. It is getting to the point where there are some many different lengths, I am going to have to get it trimmed. I think I look like a Chia Pet.
Yesterday, Mandy decided that my chin was in need of some tweezering. I let her pluck one hair and that hurt. I guess I will have to bite the bullet and let her do the rest. I am luck though, that my eyelashes and brows are coming in normal, so far I have escaped the alien hair thing happening.
Well that's all for now , but shout outs to John and Julie for the lovely flowers and my office staff for the flowers to celebrate the end of my radiation.

Free Mammographies
I received this today, and not for the first time. It’s legit according to Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/charity/mammogram.asp) so please take a second and give it a click, every day if possible.
The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on ‘donating a mammogram’ for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn’t cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising.
Here’s the web site! You can only click once a day so please pass it along to people you know…
