Got a reply that raised questions I had not addressed:
Kris' long term disability went through so, we are covered. Not only that but, she was approved for Social Security disability which is odd given that we were told flat out it takes a year to go through!
Chemotherapy... we thought we were done, and in a way we are, in a way we are not. Today, Kris goes in for an infusion of Herceptin. Apparently the plan was to do a year of Herceptin all along. The good news is that as these drugs go, Herceptin is 'gentle' so her hair and nails will grow back and she shouldn't have any side effects to speak of. Dr. Moran apologized because as he was telling us this he realized that he'd lead us to believe we were done with Chemotherapy. The reason is that he doesn't think of Herceptin as Chemotherapy whereas he does think of Taxotere and Xeloda (etc) as Chemotherapy. Largely this is due to the side effects of the other drug therapies and lack of side effects from Herceptin.
Kris is as well as can be expected given the news about Nikki.
General apologies for not posting for a while. It's been hectic for me of late and I will endeavor to do a better job of keeping the posts up to date.
