Another Herceptin down

The Herceptin infusion went smoothly today. I asked that the infusion be over 40 min again so that was good. Liam took care of me. The only things that I mentioned were the toe tingling and the little sty-like things on the rims of the eyelids. Liam felt the pulse on my ankles, but said things looked fine. I think the sty stuff is because I was a little stressed this week with the grant deadlines, and I slept less. Maybe less than 8 hours. I'm averaging about 9-10 hours though. I couldn't call myself sleep deprived. 

All the hairs are growing in! I almost feel like I'm going through puberty again! => Also, my skin is not as clear as it was during chemo. I still got a compliment on it this weekend. My eyebrows are making good headway, but the lashes are still out.

Tomorrow I get my check up mammogram. The last one was in August before the second lumpectomy and the chemo/radiation. I can still feel the scar tissue lump, but no other odd lumps so hopefully, I'll have nothing new of concern. I'll meet with my radiation oncologist after the mammo.
