Maureen:
You are in a really rough patch on this journey. I also did 6 mos of neoadjuvant chemo and near the end I felt pretty crazy. The combo of the waiting, the drugs, the nervousness about what will happen during surgery are all super stressful. One doc told me that neo adjuvant chemo is the most emotionally difficult treatment because it's like being diagnosed twice.
You will get through this and it will get better. I had very aggressive locally advanced diseased and I'm fine four years later. Also, from what I've heard, there is no evidence that more than one year of herceptin is helpful for non metastatic bc.
Of course you don't feel like yourself -- but you will again. Take care. Come here often. Don't question yourself. It's the situation, not you.
Good luck with your surgery.
Best
Linda
