It was a good day. Sunny. Not cold, despite the negative degrees. It was beautiful out. I had to stop and take pictures of the rising sun.

I was in a good mood. The nurse was calm and thorough, explaining all details calmly and patiently. Asking regularly if I had questions. She started by setting up the drip. Before she started with the chemo, she applied an injection of Phesgo. This is the medicine that attacks the HER2 directly and specifically.



After no adverse reactions, which were unlikely anyway, the chemo started. The mood was good. The nurse and I chatted away gladly and happily. And then all hell broke loose...
