I couldn't be happier for you. I remember that day so clearly and almost did cartwheels leaving the treatment room. What a difference a year makes, it will be a year next month that I had my last chemo and today my hair is almost where it was when this whole journey started, my strength is back and I am feeling like my old self again. Herceptin will be so much easier. I did find that my hair is growing faster since I am off of the herceptin but it grew pretty good while I was on it. Good luck to you. It is all down hill from here. The worst is over over (hopefully forever). Keep us posted. Darlene
