Re: Herceptin - 3 more treatments to go!

I was very anxious when I finished, was looking for any trial that I could be part of but I found that with time the anxiety decreased. I found myself thinking more about my day to day activities and less about the fear of the cancer coming back. I think we all just need time. Congratualtion on almost finishing I know the last few felt like they took forever to come and go.
