Herceptin and A Puzzle

I'm so confused right now. I know that it's been a busy month, but I didn't realize that I was so busy that I forgot about my Herceptin infusion until today. I went in thinking that my appointment was today when it really was last week. No one said anything about me missing an appointment. I even met up with my med onc Dr. Wolff, Shirl who took a picture today for the study, AND Liam who gave me the Herceptin infusion. No one asked why I missed last week. I didn't realize until I looked on my calendar just now that it was suppose to be then. I have a headache today, and this isn't helping!

Otherwise, the infusion went smoothly. I talked with Dr. Wolff about setting up an MRI for Oct. as well as a follow-up mammo since the last one showed some seemingly benign calcifications. He wasn't too sure if both were needed so he e-mailed my surgeon and radiologist to figure it out.

Work has really picked up, and I'm really enjoying being back in the lab full-time. Also, at the beginning of July, we had a baby shower for Linda, who looked absolutely wonderful. Baby JuHan (Korean name picked out by her father-in-law) was pretty active, and we enjoyed seeing the sonogram pics, especially of his smile! I haven't had a chance to upload the pictures, but I will.

The following week Sam and I went tubing down Antietam Creek with a few of my co-workers, and this past weekend, we were at Artscape, a free arts festival in Baltimore with films, music, and art on display and on sale. Lots more pics. This may well explain why I mistook the week for my treatment. Too many things going on. At least I feel good enough that everything is flying by fast and that I feel like I don't need treatment! Now I'll have to figure out when my next infusion will be since the schedule is off. Good grief! I thought I was going insane there for a minute.
