Completed Herceptin this evening...
 

Dear Sisters,
Many thanks to all of you for your support, guidance and humor to guide me
through the year of herceptin.

This year went by so fast...and I have learned so much (thanks to this
forum) I must say that we are all so lucky to have each other and this
site.

Big Hugs and Kisses to Joe and Christine!
Jean

Jean, Big Congratulations! Its so amazing how you first start your chemo and herceptin treatments and you imagine how long it will take to get through all of it. But it sure goes by faster then one imagines...doesn't it. :) I am glad you have this all behind you. Many wonderful wishes for a long happy road dancing with NED by your side. (Hope your hubby isn't the jealous type.) lol :) Go celebrate a bit...you certainly deserve it girl.

I'm happy for you that your herceptin is finished. Life goes on...................enjoy each and every day.


Love & hugs,

Mary Jo

Jean,

I hope you won't be leaving us. We have plans for you.

Regards
Joe

Joe....Never....
 

Ever!

Hugs,
Jean

Forgot....to tell you....
 

When I finished my herceptin my onc nurses all came out with a balloon
which read "YOU DID IT" Congratulations....

When my husband an I arrived home we went out back with my family.
I made a wish for all of us and released the balloon. My large American
Bulldog was leaping in the air to catch it as it started to rise. A good strong
wind lifted the balloon and off it flew. As you all know when you make a wish you have to keep it secret ....but you all can guess what it was.


Hugs,
Jean

Congratulations, so happy for you! Stay well.

Congrats Jean on this big accomplishment. I am starting Herceptin in 3 weeks, it's nice to hear from someone who has actually finished!

May you dance with NED for years and years...

All the best

Dito to Caya...
 

Caya...

Good Luck to you also...the herceptin is easy to do and if you have any questions just reach out. Are you taking CoQ 10? If not you may wish
to consider as you are taking your treatments.

Regards,
Jean

Jean,
A big day for both of us. Thanks for your post.

Congrats and enjoy your freedom.

Congratulations Jean - It is such a great milestone. Here's wishing you all of the best going forward!

Congratulations Jean...you fought hard for that herceptin!!! What kind of follow up screenings are you going to be doing??? Hey...I think I just saw that big balloon go floating past!!!

Oh Suzan, I hope you did see it!

My onc. plans on seeing me in 3 months for follow up.
At that time he said he will do exam, tumor markers (he did them before I left last night) and he does not believe in scans unless there is a reason.
But I do go in for CT chest scan in July to watch that small node on lung
which we have been watching for the past two yrs. No Change....on it
thank God...and who knows how long that has been there.

Just had a digital mammorgram last week and all was NED.
Also will have an MRI in 6 months.

THAT'S ALL FOLKS... :)

Big Hugs to all,
Jean

Congratulations Jean!!!!!!!


It does seem like yesterday when you were on the prowl to get treatment......and now its done and the cancer is surely gone!!!

The balloon must have traveled long and far yesterday. I got rained out of Newark and had to land in Cincinnati for the night. Just got home now. I'm sure our Canadian friends saw your balloon today.

Love and kisses to you.

Congratulations Jean

I feel so lucky that as Stage I we have the opportunity to take Herceptin and
I will be finished in November. Take care and enjoy.

Thanks Jean
 

I will ask my onc. about taking the CoQ 10 while on Herceptin. I am scheduled for another MUGA scan the week before the loading dose of Herceptin ( JUne 7th) - I had one in January before I started chemo, it was good.

Thanks again,
Caya

Congrats, Jean, on the NED scan and on finishing a full year of Herceptin! And thanks again for being SO helpful to me with info on TCH.

Jean...You DID it!
 

Now for you to relax and enjoy MANY, MANY, MANY more years! God bless and Take care. BIG huggs
