My first Enhertu Treatment

I had my first Enhertu infusion on August 5th (the day after my port placement on August 4th, after a hot mess attempt at a picc line placement on July 31). Here's a little video update on how that went.

My first Enhertu infusion seemed to go well. I had a port placed on Monday (I had previously had a port back in 2012 that was removed I believe in 2014). So, I needed a new one. They tried to put a picc line in on the Thursday before, but it was a hot mess at the hospital and it turns out I couldn't get the procedure. The radiologist recommended a port instead, which we honestly preferred anyway. God worked it all out for us. I ended up having a bad reaction to one of the drugs they put into the port before the Enhertu, so we had to quickly get a bag of saline, Benadryl and steroid and Ativan into my body before beginning the Enhertu. It knocked me out and the rest of the infusion went well. The Enhertu infusion was supposed to be longer than the future infusions, at 90 minutes. Instead, we went even slower and did a smaller dose over 2 hours. Between that and the reaction, we ended up not leaving until 2pm. We were there from 7a-2pm. SO it was a long day, and so far, no nausea or other issues. Just pain in the neck area where the port was placed. But, it gets slightly better with each day. Thanks so much for your prayers friends! Excited to share upcoming miracles with you!
