I didn't have any neuropathy, but felt it took about a month to start to feel I was coming out of the chemo funk. Herceptin was easy I only had a runny nose, my RBC has remained low but slowly recovering. Radiation was easy, I didn't have any fatigue just turned red but no blistering or anything. Everyone is different though. Congrats of finishing chemo though one more thing to put behind you.
