Terry I think a lot of us felt as you do when the day finally came to stop herceptin, I know I did and was imagining the cancer was going to grow out of check with nothing to stop it. I was told by some here it would get easier and my fears would subside in time and they were right. Of course I still worry about recurring but the further out from herceptin I got the easier it became.
I felt and accepted I had done all I could to stop this disease and whatever would happen was going to happen and I'd deal with it if and when that day came.
So far it has'nt. I hope this helps a little and you and Ruth begin to enjoy life post herceptin with less and less appts as she goes along.
My best to you both.
