No Reservations

My oncologist turned into Santa Claus.  When I got to the clinic it was to the news that today was the first treatment of the maintenance protocol.

Hooray!

There are no adverse effects from the monoclonal anti-bodies.  :D

I will get a treatment every 3 months for the next 2 years, but the really rocky part of this journey is over - for now.

Many thanks for all the good wishes and positive thoughts.  I have no doubt they helped!

Next challenge - getting mom through her surgery recovery........
