Re: Herceptin - 3 more treatments to go!

Thanks for sharing your experience with me, it makes me somewhat at ease. Most days it is so easy to stay strong and every once in a while that nasty little monster called fear creeps up on me. I'm sure it will take some time to get use to all of this. We are very much alike with our diagnosis except I am ER/PR-. I was also diagnosed at age 49. (Got to love being tossed right into menopause!) Thanks for you help and so funny that we live so close together!
