Chemo in Astoria.

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!

Jons knee

Just saw an orthopedic in longview today. I did tear my meniscus but it is healing well and no surgery for now!!!  Good news!  Quite a bit of bone on bone arthritis but that is a long term issue no something I need to worry about now!  So good mews 

Beautiful day at the beach today!!

My turn with the baby

This is stupid

Well in Portland Tuesday I was doing some errands and walking around quickly trying to do some productive things while Laura was having her chemo and I tore the miniscus in my right knee.  My right knee has always been my better knee but now I'm on the couch at home with Laura watching orange is the new black. I saw my primary dr and will get a referral to an orthopedist.  It is so painful and stupid.
