I need some wisdom and experience. My question is, has anyone ever NOT done last chemo treatment? Onc says that the treatments are pushed as far as can be pushed. There's a small percentage of patients who don't do 6th treatment. I, if decided, would be in that percentage. I have not had a treatment for 4 weeks. I am feeling better, but sometimes tired because of low hemoglobin. I can have a transfusion to help with that, but the last treatment? That does not exclude Herceptin; would continue with that every 3 weeks. The onc is very informative, but I'm searching for feedback.

I Thanks!
