That is very, very sweet. Another thing to do (I am assuming she gets Herceptin every three weeks) is when the day comes that she should have gotten Herceptin (the first time when she won't be going to the cancer center) - take her somewhere else (dinner or lunch perhaps) but have a plan (even to rent a movie). For some weird reason, that day is also a weird day too.
Plan something else "far" out. Maybe real far out depending on your circumstances but a trip together - long weekend or something (6-12 months from now). I never wanted to think out that far but there is absolutely no reason not to.
Congratulations on finishing treatment.
