Made more progress with my fall bucket list…close to being completed! Made pumpkin spice sugar scrub, watched A Nightmare on Elm Street, made lasagna soup in the crockpot, decorated two pumpkins, made chocolate chip pumpkin bread, and made a donation to my local food bank. 🎃

Have made some progress on my fall bucket list this week! The candle I‘m burning right now is the Pumpkin Clove scent from Bath and Body Works…it smells amazing. Got a fall mani/pedi and I love the darker colors for fall. Watched the Panthers game today and no surprise, they lost, but our new head coach is super hot and it does soften the blow a little.

So, I do a fall/Halloween bucket list every October, and this is this year‘s list. I made it into a bingo board for #HauntedShelf, so of course, I‘m going for a card blackout for lots of points!

An interesting read about the development of Herceptin, one of the newer cutting edge immunotherapy cancer drugs for women like me who have HER-2 positive breast cancer. I was struck how ego, aggressive competition can spur scientific breakthroughs. Nonetheless I declined chemo and Herceptin 2 plus years ago. Did surgery and radiation which went really well. I remain in remission but know I have a high likelihood of it returning. ⬇️

SamAnne Prior to diognosis had a few really challenging years and decided to live life and travel—am lucky to be able to do that—for the time being. Currently in beautiful Baja Mexico! Life is beautiful. 6mo
Leftcoastzen Bless you ! Let‘s hope it stays away. Travel seems like great medicine. 6mo
SamAnne @Leftcoastzen thank you and yes! I needed to get fierce again on loving life. I know I need that to survive. Doc said that it could take me 5 years to get back to normal from the drug cocktail they want to give me. I‘m an active person. Chose quality over quantity of time. For the time being! 6mo

This book tells the fascinating story of the development of Herceptin, a targeted antibody treatment for breast and ovarian cancer that attacks a specific receptor called HER-2. Herceptin is one of the treatments I am receiving, so this was very personally relevant! It‘s an amazing treatment that fights cancer directly without real side effects, unlike chemo. The book tells the stories of the scientists and biotech companies along with many women

Clare-Dragonfly …who fought breast cancer and were treated, or not, with Herceptin. 9mo
AmyG Wishing you all the best with your treatment. 👊 9mo
SamAnne Would you be willing to email with me on your experience with it? And book stacked. Samannemace at gmail. I have the same. Did radiation and successful surgery but postponed chemo to travel and live life this year. My doctor told me it would “smash me into the ground” for 6 months and it could me 2-5 years to feel a sense of normalcy. And likely give me heart damage. Hope I‘m not overstepping here. I don‘t know anyone personally with HER2 (edited) 9mo

SamAnne I‘m also reading Song of the Cell right that I think also discusses Herceptin. 9mo
SamAnne And wishing you a strong recovery! They want me to take a chemo and Herceptin. Ordering this book ASAP. Have been on the fence…. Apologies for any over sharing here. (edited) 9mo
Clare-Dragonfly @SamAnne Sure, I‘ll send you an email! Short version: chemo sucks but it‘s a hell of a lot better than dying of cancer 🤷🏻‍♀️ 9mo
SamAnne @Clare-Dragonfly for me, to a point. Quality of my years is also important to me. Hah! So I traveled and lived it up this year. Doctors aren‘t happy, but some nurses and techs have whispered to me: “good for you. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.” I glad you are making it through! 9mo

5⭐️ I was really surprised that I liked this book. While I wasn‘t really surprised at how well the story was written, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it and how much it drew me in. I also liked how the author made the cancer storyline very believable. I didn‘t know I had breast cancer until there was a shooting pain in my breast; breast cancer doesn‘t always make itself known with the usual signs. ⤵️
