My Cancer Update
After toting around the annoying drains for 7 weeks, they were finally removed today. I see the radiologist on Wednesday (9/28) and will also have a CT scan for the radiologist. I'm guessing that my 33 radiation treatments will start next Monday.
Now that I completed my chemo back on July 7th, my appetite has finally returned...with a vengence. I'm eating mostly dense protein along with some veggies. My RD said I am doing great with my RNY. She isn't concerned about my increased appetite, saying that I am handling everything just great.

UPDATE 11/11/16:
Thank you to those OHers that have sent me messages asking about my progress. I am happy to say that I am doing VERY well! In fact, I'm doing so well that my radiation oncologist has decided to cut my radiation treatments from 33 to 30. So, next Friday (11/18) will be my final radiation treatment. Yay!!
I'm still having Herceptin infusions every 3 weeks. These are no big deal...no side effects from them. I have to have them for 1 year. I believe I will be done with the Herceptin infusions sometime in July 2017.
My weight loss is in a plateau status.
