Free at LAST!
I had my last herceptin infusion yesterday and I'm going to call the surgeon to get my port removed in a couple of weeks. It does feel good to be free from the routine IV thing and to be done with treatment !!!! Oncogloist told me yesterday that thanks to herceptin, I have very good prognosis. Just wanted to share good news with all of you who listened to me during the rough times. BERTA
