Moving Forward with my Third Line of Treatment

So this came in the mail yesterday.  Looks a little scary but boy, was I happy to see it!  It has been more weeks than I would like without a treatment. I was attempting to get in a clinical trial for a new drug; however, I was not able to be accepted right now, so my oncologist and I chose a different line of treatment. 
The treatment plan consists of two drugs.  I will be getting a Herceptin infusion every three weeks.  Then I will also be taking Xeloda, these lovely pills in the picture.  I will be taking four after breakfast and four after supper...14 days on, then 7 days off...continuing this for as long as it works.  We will have a scan in about five weeks to make sure it is doing its job!
While doing all the necessary scans in applying for the clinical trial, we found two more progressing spots on my ribs. I had a feeling there were new spots because of the new pain that I had been experiencing. 
It has been a very stressful and worrisome few weeks. So please say a prayer for me that this new line of treatment is going to work!

On a bright note...I was invited to be on an advisory panel about living with stage IV breast cancer and clinical trials. Last week, they flew me to La Jolla, California for a few days.  Although we had a full day of meetings, I did get a little time to explore La Jolla, including an up close and personal visit with some seals. 

Definitely a little break from the craziness that I was needing.
