We had a good week at the lake with the exception of last Thursday. My temperature spiked again and Len called the emergency line about 9 pm when it got up to 101.4. The doctor told us that we could probably wait until morning and then go in to the cancer center to have more lab tests run. On Friday morning my labs came out really good. My doctor has no idea what was causing the fever - but it is now gone. It is possible that it was just a virus that I had a hard time fighting. Twelve days in a row with a fever is not a whole lot of fun!
On Saturday we had 20 riders come out to the lake for a tandem ride. It was a beautiful day for all. I met them for lunch in Middleville and we had a great pot luck at the campground in the evening. It was a busy day, but it was great to see everyone. On Sunday we had a visit from one of my dear friends from high school. Thanks, Donna for coming out - it was so great to see you.
I had my second Taxotere on Monday and my first Herceptin. I have two more Taxotere infusions and a year of Herceptin - given every three weeks. So far, so good. I was feeling good enough to go back out to the campground after my chemo on Monday and had a good day yesterday. We are home now and Len is off to work. Julie and Jason gave me the chemo surprise this time. They gave me the beautiful necklace that I am wearing in this picture, some daily inspiration note cards, three magnets for the refrigerator (my favorite one says "It is okay for me to take a nap") and some jelly bellys. Thanks!
