Re: Should I do one more Herceptin?

Dianne,

In light of your onc's findings and that unbelievable hike to the infusion center, I would do just what you have chosen! I love Canada. We spent many summer vacations up in Quebec. We traveled by jeep back a long, dirt logging road (150 miles long!) to old, abandoned camps on these interior lakes. Sometimes we'd travel all day by boat portaging between lakes and camp on the islands. In hindsight, my parents were nuts! Three little kids in the middle of nowhere, can you imagine? They loved to fish. The walleye and pike were abundant and huge! After reading your posts I can appreciate just how difficult your journey is. I say well done to have finished 17 Herceptin and all of your chemo! Bravo to you, brave lady!
