Laura has just started her herceptin infusion in Astoria. It took over 3 weeks but she finally is able to do infusions here in Astoria which is great! She swam this morning and I worked until 1230 and. Will go back to the office later too!

Lauras scans
Good news! Lauras scans today continue to be good news! They cannot see any cancer in her ct scans. While there is something in the left side of her liver, they think it is a cyst and not cancer. Dr Raish, her medical oncologist, said she is very far to the good side of possible outcomes of her treatment. He expected some results but he did not expect not to see any cancer so that is great!
Dr Raish would not say NED (no evidence of desiease) but he did say he is very happy with the results. So happy he has decided to do two more sessions of taxotere which is the chemo drug that Laura is taking along with the two other biological drugs that go after her exact type of cancer. So Laura was just given 20 mg of steroids since she did not pre load her body with steroids yesterday and today to accept the taxotere. Her nurse said she would not be sleeping tonight but at least they are being as aggressive as possible!
We are having our traditional Thai food lunch we have been having for chemo!
