Tomorrow, May 8, 2008 is my final Herceptin!!
 

Tomorrow is a big day for me - it's # 17 of 17 Herceptin infusions. I am really looking forward to it, needless to say.

When I was first diagnosed with Her2+ BC, I honestly thought I might not make it through. Of course the HERA trials showing the great success of Herceptin came out shortly before I started chemo in Jan. 2007 and I could see that just maybe I would be "okay" after all.
Finding this wonderful website with all pertinent information, the latest meds, treatments etc. for Her2+ has been an incredible part of my journey. I want to thank all the "warriors" who so graciously gave their insights and cheered me on... Our dear Kate The Great was one. I shall miss her terribly, as I know we all will.

So thanks again to everyone here. I am very hopeful of remaining NED for the next 40 years or so.

all the best
caya

treatment complete!
 

HI Caya-
Congratulations on finishing herceptin. I finished chemo on April 15 and started radiation this week, herceptin every 3 weeks now.
I hope all goes well for you!!!!

great !!! God Bless you always Love ,Lily

Caya,
Congrats!

You will feel strange for a few weeks, but will come to love the freedom.

We went out to a lovely dinner with my brother and sister in law. I hope you celebrate in some special way also. You desire it!

Caya,
What a wonderful day for you! I'll be thinking of you as I start my first Herceptin tomorrow. It's kind of ironic that one warrior finishes her journey while another begins hers. Take care,

Cindy

Caya,

congratulations on putting this phase in the rearview mirror. You will probably miss your infusions and find yourself not knowing what day or week it is...but you'll get over that!!!!!

I agree....time to celebrate

Congratulation Caya - I bet it will feel great to finally be done.

congrats
 

congratulations Caya!

I remember that day for my sister as well. Almost seems surreal to finally reach that milestone. I am celebrating with you.

Celebration Time!!!!! You might miss the routine for a few weeks and then you'll just leap and jump for joy!!!! Congratulations!

Congratulations Caya. You will feel a bit out of sorts and alittle weepy but it passes quick. I went to a wine tasting :) You will think about it in 3 weeks when it is time to go for an infusion but you don't have anymore.

Then, it will become a thing of the past.

I will be with you in that infusion room tomorrow. My mom always told me when I was scared or nervous to dream of babies and angels so that is what I am going to tell you to do too.

Hi Caya....Thanks for sharing your special May 8th, final herceptin date. We love to rejoice with our sisters and brothers.

It's a huge day for you......a special finality......and one "finality" that won't take long to adjust too.

Congratulations Caya...........God Bless you..

Big hugs,Marcia

Big Congrats, Caya.

It will be good to have it behind you!

Hi Caya,

Congratulations on finishing Herceptin!

Caya,
I remember both my last chemo day (how could I forget- the nurses put a chemo queen crown on my head and took a picture of me- I'd like to know where in the world that picture landed) and my last herceptin day. After my last herceptin treatment, I just couldn't believe that I did not have to visit the chemo room again- it did feel absolutely surreal. But, like everyone has told you, you will be so happy with your new found freedom!!! I will be thinking of you tomorrow- you should definitely celebrate in some way. Congratulations!
Best,
Karen

Dear Caya,
