in Breast Cancer #1
I started my new treatment Monday (xgeva and faslodex) without any problem. Just a little tired. Now, we are off on our great train adventure for Danny's birthday so I will be mia for a couple of weeks. Taking the train from N.O. to Chicago and then from Chicago to Glacier Park, where we will get off and stay at the lodge for a time. Then back on the train to Seattle where we will visit my sister, Patsy. I'll share more when we return! :-)

    I love Idaho. What a gorgeous state! My grandparents lived in a tiny town on the Lochsa River and we spent nearly every summer with them when I was a kid. So many happy memories there. And so many huckleberries! I will definitely be waving to you Lynn.

    AWESOME! I had my 2nd
    AWESOME! I had my 2nd Faslodex inection on Monday...it is still sooooo painful! I have small egg-sized lumps at each injection site, and it is incredibly sore to the touch! So happy you are not experiencing any of that! Have fun! ( as if I needed to tell you that!) I go back in on the 29th for Zometa and Faslodex~ being that the SE's were so horrid last time, they are going to give me the Zometa as a one hour infusion rather than half an hour.

    I know you will continue to do beautifully and I am so thriled that you are celebrating and traveling and living ife to its fullest! YAY YAY YAY!!!!!!!!!!

    Hugs,

    Lol my butt is sore too! I am writing on my droid while sitting on the train and waiting for the attendant to put our bed down. Just wanted to say that I have read that, for many, the flu like se with zometa are worse the first time and then slowly disappear. I'm hoping and praying that that will be the case with you. Hugs!

    Chicago Train station
    The Chicago Train Station is beautiful! We spent a couple hours there just checking it out. Trains are my favorite way to travel. It's not just the destination, it's the journey!

    Have a wonderful trip,
