Hello Friends:
Margaret began Week#2 or Cycle#2 of her chemotherapy protocol this past week. On Wednesday, Week#2, began with a doctor appointment and of course the dreaded finger prick! -- thank the Good Lord for warm packs and kind staffers! Although Doctor Goldfarb was on vacation the doctor who saw Margaret was quite nice and was extremely impressed by Margaret's ability to navigate through and pronounce the medical lingo like a pro. The first infusion session of this second cycle lasted about 3 hours -- just as planned. After lunch, Margaret slept comfortably through the infusion.
On Thursday Margaret returned to MSK to have another lymph node biopsy. Margaret was so thankful and pleasantly surprised that the procedure was fairly painless. And certainly we celebrated that with a quick trip further uptown where Margaret and I indulged ourselves with a delicious and huge corn beef sandwich for St. Patrick's Day. Hopefully, with God's Grace, the results of this biopsy will confirm that her cancer is indeed HER2+ and she will remain in this clinical trial for a long time.
Thank you all for your love, support and prayers.
peace, and all good
Lorraine
