Post #58- Chemo Cycle 3, I'm Getting My Chemo as I type and Only God Can Help Me!!!

The thing I did not want to hear I heard this morning. My chemotherapy appointment was at 10:30 am. It's 12:15 pm and my chemotherapy is set up for my Taxotere and Cytoxan. My Oncologist told me that he talked to the primary investigator and they will be taking me off of Herceptin because of my RARE SEVERE ALERGIC REACTION. They are going to monitor me today and only give me the Taxotere and Cytoxan.



HERCEPTIN is the only drug that stops and reduces the over expressed Her-2- neu gene that I have. The gene that causes cancer to rapidly reproduce my already aggressive cancer. The thing that could save my life I am allergic to can you believe that. The thing that the Doctors believe could save my life I am severely allergic to. Once again I am a rare case. ( My nurse just came over and started my Taxotere drip).



The test results I got for Her2-Neu were very high 8.2, so I am a little anxious about not having Herceptin.



It is all in GOD'S hands now. All I can do is have faith. I feel like crying a little bit. I don't want to tell my mother. I have faith so no matter what anybody says GOD has the finally say and my will is still strong. I am going to fight to the end. We all know tomorrow isn't promised. I am learning so much now. I've changed so much. I'm not the same person I was by a long shot. I love the person that I am now. Even though my days are long and hard I want to enjoy each day as much as I can. I promise myself that I will enjoy each day.



Everybody reading this don't take life for granted. Embrace a higher power whoever that may be and have faith. Let the things and the people that are toxic in your life go. Live your dreams and aim high. Don't be afraid to take a chance. DON'T BE AFRAID TO LIVE!!! NO AMOUNT OF SUCCESS IS WORTH SACRIFICING YOUR LIFE FOR, BE SUCCESSFUL AND BALANCE OUT YOUR LIFE!!!



Have faith!!!! Prayer and Faith works miracles!!!!!
