End of Oct pics and Second round of chemo

Last Day of Radiation!
With my rad techs, Nellie and Bo
I rang the bell to signify I'm done!
Sam has the foam board that I used for radiation. I placed my head at the bottom with my arms up.
My wig just styled.
My neutrophils were at around 2700 so my chemo was a go for today. Last time I was given anzemet as my anti-nausea drug, but today it was changed to zofran. Marybeth, my nurse, said that it's usually alternated. So the order for administration was the same: taxotere, carboplatin, and herceptin. The dose/kg was the same, too, except for herceptin since the last time it was the loading dose of 80 mg/kg (?) and today it was 60mg/kg. I had one hive on my left arm with the taxotere, but then it went away on its own. Weird. It's strange, but that makes Mom, Sam, and me having hive(s) all within one week, but on different days, probably from different sources. My vein was found very easily! Thank God and those praying for me! One less thing to worry about.
