Taxol/Herceptin #10 will be Monday, September 22 and the last treatment will be October 6th - I can hardly believe it. I will then receive daily radiation, but I am unsure when that will start. I see the radiation doctor on October 1 and will know more then. The Cancer Center nurses told me that usually radiation is started about 3 weeks after chemo ends, which would then be October 27th.
I will see the surgeon at Barnes-Jewish in St. Louis on October 21st for a follow-up.
I am wondering if the doctors will do any scans to see if the chemo worked - it would seem like a logical time to have a scan, but when I asked Dr. River about it, he seemed to think we should wait until at least 5 weeks after chemo.
I still don't know who my physician will be at Mt. Carmel when Dr. River leaves the first of October. I think I should get some kind of notice, that hasn't happened. I am concerned, yet I have decided to 'let go and let God' on this - I can go back to St. Louis, if needed, for follow up care.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress:my God, in him I will trust. Psalm 91:2
Love to all -
Ellen
