Denise is doing really well these days! She is finished with the worst of her chemotherapy treatments but will continue with Herceptin treatments every three weeks for the next 10 months. Herceptin does not cause severe side effects, so it is much better than the terrible side effects Denise endured from her treatments over the summer.
The final surgery of Denise's reconstruction is scheduled for October 12. Please be praying for her surgery- that everything will go as smoothly as possible. She is still going to physical therapy regularly to help with the lymphedema she is experiencing in her arm. The neuropathy that Denise experienced in her hands and feet as a result of the Taxol chemotherapy this summer has greatly improved. Please pray for both the lymphedema and the neuropathy to continue improving.
Denise was able to return to work after Labor Day. She has spent most of her time catching up on paper work, emails, and tests, and will continue to work from home until her surgery on the 12th. She is happy to start the process of returning to normal and is looking forward to having the surgery behind her.
Thanks so much for all of the prayers! I will update the blog with updates after her surgery.
