I didn’t realize it had been two months since I’d updated my journey here. I finished radiation on October 30. My skin handled it pretty well, but I was definitely glad to be done. It took a couple weeks to get rid of the discomfort and pain. Since that time, I’ve had every 3 week oncology doctor appointments followed by Herceptin and Perjeta infusions (a.k.a. chemo light). I have to do 13 of them and should be done in early May 2019.
I ended up losing 30-40% of my hair- good thing I had a lot to begin with. But to most people, you probably can’t tell that I lost so much hair. I’m so glad I did the cold caps. I highly recommend it. I’m getting plenty of regrowth so there’s little curly hairs coming in underneath.
Right now, as we speak, I’m getting Infusion #7 of 13... so over halfway done!
