Ah yes, the substitute Dr. He was nice. I was sorry to miss meeting Dr. Science but he should be there next time for Amy.
The good news was that Amy appears to be doing very well with the regimen, her reactions to the chemo are all within normal range and her body is handling things well. Substitute Dr. almost seemed a little disappointed - as in, not much for him to address.
He did get a little excited at the opportunity to answer some of Amy's questions re: longer term impacts of the Herceptin. He mentioned the possibility of hot flashes but told her that they wouldn't be all that extreme and that they weren't all that bad anyway. I asked how he was doing with them because they were really making it tough for me to get a good night's sleep.
Amy's labs are back and they are getting ready to hook up the bag o'poison. I'll be looking away now.

did you really ask that??!! I laughed out loud at the notion!
kq
I did, indeed. He looked at me like I had horns growing out the side of my head.
Maybe he'll think twice next time when he's ready to brush aside a pesky side effect that he will never experience...
