So every morning I take a pill, and every three weeks I go to Sloan Kettering and get jabbed and infused and stabbed in the butt. Nothing's changed! But since you are all clamoring for another blog post, I thought I'd give you one (ok, so really it's just Johanna who's clamoring...the rest of you probably stopped reading long ago). The most recent trip to SK was pretty smooth -- I asked up front for a nurse who was good with a needle, claiming I had "bad veins" (which for all I know, I do by now). And I got one -- Anne was great and popped that IV in no problem, smooth as butter. Unfortunately she was not around for the Lupron shot at the end, and the woman who did that was not quite as light-handed with a needle, so I felt a little like a calf being branded.
Also, I have had a couple of people say that my new 'do makes me resemble Jean Seberg...which I would take as a compliment if it weren't for the reference that immediately pops into my head upon hearing her name - a line from August: Osage County:
"Jean Seberg killed herself. With a massive over-blah of...blahbiturates." So it's kind of a grim reference! However, I looked her up and she's pretty dang cute, so I think I'll take it as a compliment. So, below: a recent shot of me, and a shot of Jean Seberg before she over-blahed. Very cute, minus the cigarette, which we all know causes CANCER. (I don't have any shots of my hair in the past week or so, when it has started to curl and go a little nuts, so you're kind of missing out. I'll post something more recent soon).
Next week I return for another Herceptin, but I also get to see my doctor, and go to the lymphedema therapist. If anything interesting happens, I'll be sure to let everyone know. Until then...
