I too had my last Herceptin injection last week. Bought my Oncologist a new lab coat to replace his soiled one. Told him I was in retail, and I just couldn't help myself. Bought a half sheet cake with the BC symbol for the nursing staff. I was lucky that my favorite nurses were all working. It was like a celebration!!! They were truly happy for me.
The nurses recommended I leave my port in for a year! I fussed at them for being Negative Nellies. My oncologist recommended I wait until my next mammo in Feb. I am envious of you. Congratulations!
