Hi Silks,
From reading your blog it looks like we are both on the same path. I too had a single masectomy with an expander put in on the 30th of June. My cancer too was HeR2 + and as a result I have to have x4 A/C treatments 3 weeks apart, then x4 T/H treatments 3 weeks apart followed by x8 Herceptin treatments 3 weeks apart.
Radiation starts on the 15th of December.
It was just before my 2nd dose of chemo (last Monday) that I lost all of my hair. For me that was the most emotional part. But now... I love it. I get to match my scarves with the outfits that I wear each day. I have to wear a beanie at night time becasue it is so cold.
Did you get a port-a-cath put in? If not, I definately reccomend getting one. The last thing you need it catheters in your arm each 3 weeks.
Love donna
