Hello,

I just finished my 1 year of Herceptin yesterday. My onc had said previously that before I have my port removed he wanted to "see where the dust settles" on my blood counts (they're low) and the tests I'm having done. I have to go in monthly for blood test. Otherwise I'm glad I learned here that it has to be flushed every 6 weeks. : ) Yep, I was thinking the same things you all were...does he think I may be needing it again soon?

Take care.
Mindy
