I've haven't written much about radiation because it's been so repetitive for me. I currently have 2 treatments left. I am so ready to be done. The actual treatments aren't too bad but I am definitely tired of driving to Eureka (1 hour round trip) everyday. The side effects haven't been too bad. Some people said I'd get pretty exhausted but I didn't really experience that.
During radiation, I've also had 2 Herceptin/Perjeta infusions (chemo light) so I have 9 left to go. I should finish up in early May 2019. The infusions are pretty easy. I take my laptop and they go pretty quickly.... about 2 hours.
After radiation is complete, I will be on a hormone blocker for 10 years. I have an appointment at UCSF for a second opinion to make sure I am on the right one for me.
That's about all I have for now...
