Boston Trip Postponed, Radiation, and Drains

We are not travelling to Boston today. The HER2 analysis from the outside lab is not yet finalized. The medical oncologist at Dana-Farber did not want to meet yet without this information. The HER2 status will determine what her therapy plan will be.

The surgical oncologist also called Robin this week about radiation therapy. She presented Robin's case to an oncology panel there (surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists and pathologists) and everyone was in agreement that radiation was NOT recommended. This is very good news for us.

And this past Monday Robin was finally able to have her drains removed. She feels so much more comfortable now and is able to take showers (we are all thankful for that!). Although she is still fairly sore, she is doing better each day now.

Now we plan to go to Boston this coming Tuesday for the rescheduled medical oncology appointment and another follow-up with the plastic surgeon's office.
