    Hey all, 
    Treatment hasn’t been too hard on me. It’s actually a lot easier than the chemo definitely was. I’ll be on this for 4 infusions so I hope it works, I feel as it will but let’s hope. I’ve been having a lot of nausea last 2 days, I’ve been taking compazine but it hasn’t worked that well. Any other remedies for nausea? I could definitely use it. Doc said it’s the disease causing it but I feel like it’s left over symptoms from chemo. Thank you all, much love and luck to all. ❤️

    Hey all, 
    Quick update on my targeted therapy. It was accepted by insurance and I’ll be starting tomorrow. Let’s hope this does the trick and controls this thing!

    Hey all,
    I’ve been doing much better mentally. Going to therapy has helped a lot and my therapist has seen Improvements within the last week. I’ve gotten back into my main hobby which is building my project car and it’s brought me happiness. 
     
    In other news my scans where yesterday and most likely will be told the results today. I’m very nervous of the results but I know in my gut I’m due for good news so let’s hope for something good from the treatments. My 3rd infusion is today as well, after this one more left before I’m just left on immunotherapy. 
     
    I want to thank y’all for being there for me when I’ve most needed it and this time I’ve hit my worst. I know I don’t post much or check the community that much either but I hope each and everyone of y’all has received good news lately. ❤️

    Hey all, 
    Giving an update since it’s been a minute. My mental health as taken a massive hit since my break up and it’s spiraled into more than just my break up. It’s spiraled into being stuck in my home making it feel like a prison, the cancer and all the things it’s taken away and put me through. It’s a lot that I’ve been dealing with and attempting to cope. 
     
    Today I had labs and it showed that I’m more anemic then I was. Which explains why I had to leave work when I attempted to go back. The dizziness I had caused me to leave work early, I felt fine and it hit me out of no where. So on Monday I have to get a blood transfusion, which is a whopping 5-6 hours long. I also get scans next week to see how the chemo has affected me and I really hope for a good sign, that anxiety has been hitting me the closer it gets.
    I really just want to return to a normal life.. or somewhat normal with what I have. I really feel like I hit rock bottom with everything that’s been going on. I needed to vent somewhere, I hope everyone has been okay and has had good news come towards them. ❤️

    @LexieCatIm super glad to hear things have been working out in your favor! Hopefully that treatment kicks it’s butt and gets you better.
    Im going to be a collision repair tech, so fixing body work on cars and learning how to paint. Which is really what I want to do in life. I’m not letting this disease stop me from living life and advancing in it.
    I’m currently a garage mechanic for my house so I know a lot but no by trade, just by tinkering. My pops has shown me a lot in there and I have thought myself as well.

    Ooh, I just had body work done on my car the week before I went into the hospital. The last time I went to Penn (for my Zometa infusion) I parked too close to one of those cement pillars in the parking garage and put a nice dent in my passenger-side front door. Most of the places I called couldn't get me in before July. The guy who does my detailing for me (a once-a-year indulgence) recommended this place he knew and they did an amazing job and had it done almost a week before my June 9 admission date. I'll def. be using them next time. 
    Sounds like a great line of work--no shortage of need!

    Hey all,
    I just got my second out of four infusions done yesterday with enhertu. Like last time this treatment shouldn’t be too hard on me like chemo was. I have been able to work and do thing I use to do like go to the gym and work on my project car. I forgot to mention I’m going to trade school! One thing I have learned with this disease is that it can beat you to the ground and keep you there if you let it, which had happened to me. Not being able to work, being stuck at home 24/7 and stuck in that neck brace threw me into a bad depression. But I realized what cancer was doing to me and I fixed it right away. Now a days I’m doing better and my neck injury has been as well. I look forward to good news my way because I know I’m due for it. Hoping this treatment works in my favor, I have a feeling it will. I hope each and everyone has been doing good and has had good things come there way in life. If not, I’m sorry but keep your head up because it does get better. ❤️

    Hi, Ale! You sound terrific!
    I've been having sort of a long slog recovering from the trial, but I woke up today feeling more energetic than I have for the past few weeks. Kinda like slowly coming back to life, ya know?
    Yesterday I finally shaved the few hairs that were still clinging to my scalp, and that made me feel better, too. I hated looking like a badly-plucked chicken, but now my head is smooth and I have some comfy caps to wear as it starts to grow back. I really don't mind losing it (just hoping it re-grows the way it was). 
    So trade school to be a mechanic? That's awesome! I remember when I was 17 buying a book and teaching myself how to change my oil and spark plugs, set the timing, etc. Back in the days when computers didn't control everything, lol.
    Proud of you, kiddo--rock on!

    Hey all, 
    Quick update, I’ve been pretty good. I’ve managed my nausea with an anti acid pill I was prescribed. Other than that life has been pretty normal as it gets, no sickness or anything. I’ve been working again as well, I’m just waiting for my next infusion. Hopefully y’all are good and good news has come yall way.

    Hey all, 
    Treatment with the new drug starts today. I found out it’s called enhertu and it targets the mutation in my blood to kill it off or put it under control. Let’s hope it works and does the trick!

    I forgot the name of the drug but it’s used against breast cancer and colon. My mutation is HER-2. It’s a targeted therapy against that mutation.
