Hi Lee, congrats to Colleen too on getting through to the final herceptin. I know my own first few months after were filled with often dark thoughts and concerns waiting for the other shoe to drop. Thankfully, it has'nt so far and I can say for sure, the confidence grows with each month that passes.
I'm always amazed too that although the whole treatement process was a nightmare at that time, I forget so many details of it now...which can only be a good thing

It's made me realize how resiliant we really are!
My best to you both as you go forward and I hope herceptin has worked it's wonders for Colleen as it has for so many
