Louise, I am close to your same timetable shoes. I had my last herceptin end of Jan.
I just had my second markers lab test and am waiting for the results. That part is rather nerve racking.
My hair is about 3 inches. I loved my wig...isn't that funny????!!! I wore it to a baby shower the other wk and I have not worn it in so long. Was rather fun wearing it and having longer hair again.
Want to hear something else....wierd....I am considering keeping my hair short because it looks, not bad...and am considering getting ANOTHER wig just for another change!!! Is that funny or what???!!! Who ever heard of anyone losing their hair from chemo and ending up really liking her wigs and loving the simplicity of the short hair!!!
I try to my best to really appreciate these days of "no worries". I do not know when I will have future concerns and it may be sooner or later. Who knows. I don't want to waste these wonderful carefree days worrying about the future "what ifs". Sometimes my subconscious ego gets a bit too vocal and I really try to shut it down.
Congratulations on completing your treatments.
Take care.
Harrie
