Today I had herceptin and I found out that my ejection fraction fell 4% from the last MUGA (heart) test to 60%, which is still normal, but lower. I also started hormonal treatment this week. So far, it's given me mild headaches, fatigue and hot flashes. I also find myself more emotional and bloated than before.

As I write tonight, I'm stuck for words. I'd like to let you in on how I've been doing trying to adjust to this "new normal", but I can't articulate it. Writer's block? Brain block? Who knows, just give me some time and I'll fill you in....it's been quite a journey in itself!
