(get it Deb? just for you!)
And I got it. Some new drug just approved this year shows promise for treating metastatic breast cancer (Kadcyla if you’re wondering… sounds like Godzilla, right? Attack!!). It’s tolerated better than what I’ve been on, so I shouldn’t (knock on wood) have as much nausea or fatigue as the last treatment. I might even get some hair and fingernail strength back.
I start this Wednesday and will go back every 3 weeks. Each treatment is preceded by a physical exam to assess the drug’s effects and after about 4 treatments I’ll likely get a scan to see the progress. So… updates later.
As for regular news… I’ve been enjoying my last weeks of summer (only one left!!) with drive in double features where alcohol and Pixar movies leads to loud singing of Boys to Men songs, Marcela time that makes me beautiful, and trips to the ranch where the quiet of the world is only interrupted by the panting of really tired/happy dogs. Thanks to FrankNShayne for undying support (pun intended) and to all of you who send me love comments on my posts. Smiles make me stronger and you all make me smile 
Go Kadcyla! Kick that cancer’s butt!
Even by those far away you are loved. Great science to come up with a new drug that will let you feel good too!
