On the upswing

Mary Jo is doing pretty good today. She has more energy now and almost back to being Mary Jo. The first week after chemo MJ experienced the typical negative side effects that were expected but the effects diminish day by day. She had a (Herceptin) treatment on Tuesday, which is administered just like the chemo every week for the first 18 weeks and then every third week for the remaining 34 weeks, but side effects from Herceptin are minimum compared to the chemo treatments that she receives every third week in those first 18 weeks.
