Herceptin Today

Today at 9am Mary Jo had her Herceptin (or trastuzumab is a treatment for women with breast cancer whose tumors have too much HER2 protein) treatment and blood work done at Minnesota Oncology. Her white count numbers and platelet count is still in the low range but her hemoglobin numbers continue to improve.

Mary Jo has to be cautious around crowds and try to avoid contact with people known to have a cold or flu virus but the good news is that she is less and less tired or “drained” feeling as a result of the cumulative chemo therapy treatments.
