Hi Marie, your post is so sweet. I'm sorry I couldn't respond until now. Can you believe the last herceptin and I think it made me sick? Probably not the herceptin, just me. The nurses were all blowing bubbles all over me as I left the chemo room, they are such great girls. I have to go back and see the doc next Friday, I guess because I was feeling so ill when I left, he wants to check my blood again. I can do that!
I hope and pray that all went well with Ed yesterday. You both were in my thoughts too. You are so sweet to be thinking of all of us when you have so much on your plate. You are a great lady.
Hugs

My last herceptin is this coming Tuesday. I cannot believe how anxious and scared I am to finish. I am excited but it is all so emotional. I feel like maybe I am closing a year and half of madness all up in one day. I hope and pray that we do not need it again. Here's to us!!!!
