Re: Can't tell you how happy I am!!!

I did my first Herceptin the week before surgery and it was a piece of cake - worked til about 3:00, ran over to oncology office for H and was home by 4:30. Haven't noticed any major side-effects except a runny nose.

Good luck to you on Friday! Hoping the drains come out - it's such a small thing, but feels so great to be rid of them. I'm hopeful for you since you had such a big drop in cc....keep us posted
