For starters, to celebrate, after my last treatment I ran and bought a bunch of pizzas for the absolutely wonderful staff there. Then later that weekend my husband and I went to see the movie, Juno, which I really wanted to see. GREAT MOVIE!!! That's it for starters.....
BTW, if you are interested in my herceptin side effects, I just opened a new thread called "herceptin, min side effects 4 me".
I did absolutely great on herceptin. I know I was concerned prior to starting because I had read of many others with significant side effects and I really want people to know there are some like me who had hardly any side effects.
Congratulations to you too Donna!!
Thanks you guys........love you all!!!
