Finished Herceptin
Just want to share my news..after 15 months of treatment I took my last infusion of herceptin on Monday. It has been a wild ride to this point and as you all know a little surreal. I feel a little lost. Everyone in my world says " are you cured, no more cancer"? Well, I certainly hope so, but am tough enough to realize life gives no guarantees. My onc says see her every 4 months for blood work and come in if any pain persists for more than two weeks.??!! What?? Is that all?! I can only hope that this experience gives me the chance to help someone else through this journey. May we all be given the chance to live our dreams in this life we are given. Hugs to everyone!
