Terri, I'm so happy to hear that Ruth has finished her treatment but I understand your concern. I had my last herceptin in December of '07 and I was thrilled yet so scared. I got my treatments every Friday and I guess I got used to that security blanket of having the herceptin and always having my nurses watching me and taking care of me. I'm still a little nervous about it but I think it's getting easier. Like everyone else said, just take it a day at a time, just as when we started this journey, we were afraid of the unknown, same thing now! Who knows? Maybe they will come to find out that six monthes of herceptin was plenty, then we can feel doubley protected! Bless you for being there for Ruth and give her a big hug from me. And a big hug for you, too!
Love
