1st Herceptin treatment

I had my first herceptin only treatment last Thursday and all went well. I did have a pre-med which made me tired during the treatment but I slept for a while and was fine to drive home. Felt pretty good, only a little upset stomach for a few days. I don't know if that was because of the treatment or our travel out of town for Hosea's wedding. My hands and feet are killing me lately and swell up quite a bit daily. I feel like an 80 year old when I get up first thing in the morning. My feet hurt so bad a limp around until I work the kinks out. It usually goes away by 9:00 am. James & I took Noah to World's of Fun this week since the girls are in Washington DC with their grandparents. There were no crowds and it was nice to have some one-on-one time with him. He rode all the rides he was tall enough for a couple of times. James and I rode a few rides but have decided we are getting to old for some of them. We can't quite handle the spinning and upside down stuff anymore. We are leaving on a little vacation this weekend. We are taking a 5 day cruise before I start radiation treatment on Aug. 3rd. I will have treatment every day until mid-september. I am currently working on building up some stamina. I usually have one good day and then a bad day. Trying to fight the exhaustion and get back to where I was before treatment started in January. This is going to take longer than I thought! I played tag with Noah tonight...dang that boy is fast! I am exhausted but as usual can't sleep. Enjoy the picture from the wedding this weekend!
