My Turn
My turn to report that herceptin is now finished. October 11th was my last treatment. I received my herceptin every 3 weeks. Started last October 2005 and finished this October 11, 2006. I only had one muga done at the 4 month mark. My onc. said that toxicity is usually evident in the first 4 months so unless I had symptoms she didn't do anymore. I'm thankful I haven't had any symptoms of heart trouble and feel pretty darn good. I haven't had just too many symptoms being on herceptin. A little diarrehea - left side/rib pain but that's about it. My onc. says "you are perfect" and I am rejoicing in that for now.
I pray it continues! Time will tell. For now - I'll take it one day at a time and just enjoy the ride.
God's Blessings to all,
Mary Jo
