March 2023 - Quick Update

Dear Friends,

I want to post a quick update since it’s been a few weeks. All of the tests and procedures were done as outlined in my last update. I now have a port-a-cath line and a pleural drain/catheter. I find these physically and mentally uncomfortable, but it’s part of the deal. Tomorrow I have an appointment to see if I can get the pleural drain removed soon. I hope so! Every three weeks I get a six-hour infusion cocktail. Enhertu, a targeted therapy, is the main drug I receive during these infusions. I am tolerating the infusions fairly well. I don’t feel great, but I don’t feel as bad as a lot of people do on this drug. On March 31st I will get a full body PET CT scan to see if Enhertu is working to lessen the amount of cancer I have.

Thank you for checking in with me. I’ll post an update in early April with the results from my scans.

Thank you for your care and prayers as we continue to trust in God’s plan for our family.

Love,

Julie
