Fuck Cancer

Great to hear Mrs TBS is doing great. Same situation here - the Mrs is still NED and getting stronger every day. Fear of recurrence is real.

Sidenote, it's fairly shocking to me how many women we are meeting that are HER2+. I would estimate 70% of the BC patients we talk to are HER2+. I'm sure the medical community is tracking these numbers far more scientifically, but there really seems to be a lot of HER2+ right now. Thank God for Herceptin and Perjeta!

Goddammit Meadow Skipper! I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm sure you know the deal, but fight like hell and beat cancers ass for a second time. Don't know what we can do from CO, but anything you need please let me know. Seriously anything!

Fuck cancer!

Thanks for all the kind words. I’m in an immunotherapy treatment regimen, with pretty tolerable side effects compared to chemo. The doctors seem pretty excited about it. We’ll see. It does help a lot having gone through these things previously - more focus, less confusion and mystery.

Thanks TBS. He’s finished his first cycle. He says he’s able to feel some small relief already., he can eat a little more and has a little more energy. The immunotherapy is what hits him the hardest so far. Hopefully things won’t worsen with each cycle. He has his second of six this coming week. Now that the govt won’t be shut down and everyone is rehired for now, I’ll make plan to go visit for a few days.
