Re: Should I do one more Herceptin?
Dianne,
I felt the way you are feeling with my last taxol/Herceptin and again with my final Herceptin. I was so close to being finished I just did not want to "do" the whole infusion thing even one more time! I think you have what the military calls "short timers syndrome" where your time left on your tour is very short. You just do not want to be there anymore. It hits you pretty hard and takes all your reserves to make yourself toe up to that line one last time. I can tell you that last infusion feels great when they pull the needle out for the final time!!!!
I suppose from the above you know I am going to recommend you toe up one more time, the final time!
