I had an appointment with my family doctor yesterday morning. All is fine and he had a note in his file saying they weren’t going to do my 4th chemo round but were going to move on to the second series. 

Then, late yesterday afternoon, we had a call from my doctor at the Vancouver Cancer Clinic. I’m not sure if it was my recent hospital stay but my case had been a topic for a conference. After either reviewing (or redoing) the pathology report they have decided I don’t have the more aggressive HER2 cancer.

What this means going forward is that I will get only one drug for the next four rounds of chemo rather than 3 different drugs. It also means that I won’t be needing the expensive drug we were going to pay for on our own.

I will still require the three weeks of radiation in Vancouver but following radiation I won’t require the next round of 13 chemo treatments. After radiation I think I’m done.

Thanks to everyone who has kept me in their thoughts and prayers. This is good news!
