Hi Nite
I posted this somewhere else on the board last year, but I don't know if you read it. This is "my last herceptin treatment story".

I went through the usual stuff - feeling very anxious, not knowing what to
do with myself, feeling like I'd been thrown over a cliff etc.etc. My last treatment was on January 18/06. On January 22/06 I decided that I'd had
enough of being the "cancer patient". I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. So I just decided to forget about everything, and start acting like a normal person. Well, on the evening of January 22/06, I was "running" up the basement stairs, tripped on my feet, .... I propelled forward and landed on my face in front of the back door. I didn't get my hands out, I just went schmack. Ended up with two black eyes, a split lip, and a broken nose.

So, my advice to you, is don't do what I did (obviously) Take your time getting over all of the treatments. Don't push yourself and expect to feel like your old self just because the treatments are done.

And, you aren't alone with this. You still have your health care team - you just don't see them as often. You'll be having check ups every 3 months or so, and that goes by very quickly. Good luck with all of this.
