Erin.

Thanks! You are right I was so looking forward to ending treatment. I got my port out about three weeks ago before my last treatment, because my left arm was slightly swollen and reddish purple. And my neck hurt on that side. I had two doppler studies since the first of Feb. and there was no sign of a blood clot. So I got the port out and I was so happy. It has only helped the swelling and redness alittle. I have to go to a rehabilitation doctor to see if it has something to do with my shoulder, which has been popping for a while now. Sorry I got side tracked. But yes, it should have been a time to celebrate. My port was gone and I was having my last herceptin treatment. It wasn't even that bad having the treatment without the use of a port. I still don't like getting stuck but am used to it I guess.

I hope Becky is right and rads are all I need but I think he will want to maybe keep me on herceptin or maybe add tykerb. We will see.

Thanks again!
Cheryl
