Hi Marie, thanks so much for asking about my treatment. I'm scheduled to get the last infusion of herceptin, this Friday, the 7th. You are so right about mixed feelings. I can't wait to be done, no more trips weekly, maybe I'll start feeling like my old self again. But then, I'm also scared silly too. The treatment center, my doctor, my fantastic nurses and the life saver, Herceptin, have all been my security blanket. I'm very worried to be doing without the herceptin, I feel that it has been keeping the bad things at bay, what will happen without it? Will I get the cancer back? Will I get it in a different place? How will I know? How can I be sure, if it does come back, that I'll catch it in time? I know that I'll still be seeing the doctor and my nurses but not as often and having them checking on me all the time has been a huge relief to me.
I'm certainly planning on sticking around this board, I'm not going anywhere after treatment. This has been my lifesaver as well. I care so much for the you and your husband and the rest of our "family" that I couldn't leave here if I wanted to.
I hope to get to the point in my life where every little ache and pain is just that!! Not cancer. I've been having symptoms of the flu for the last couple of days (hope it's the flu) and I hate the way it makes me question if it's not something more.
How is your mighty oak doing? You are both always in my prayers.
Thanks again for caring so much, I'll keep in touch.
Hugs
