I remember last year (Jan 31) was my last Taxol. No Herceptin then (but I started 4 months after that via the results of the HERA trial so I am on Herceptin every 3 weeks until the middle of June). It was bitter sweet but I did have the rads and at least felt I was still doing something - then started the Herceptin.
Your hair will be great by the beginning of May. The curls will most likely go as you keep getting your hair cut (unless it was curly before of course).
I think the nerve racking part for me will be in June when Herceptin ends too. Most of the gals I met during chemo were not Her 2 so they ended after rads and then I started on Herceptin so I (like you) have not been "weaned" from the safety and security of the cancer center yet. That day will come and we will learn that we will be okay all on our own (with alittle help from our dear friends on this website and others).
Congratulations on completing this major hurdle.
Warmest regards
Becky
