Re: One more to go...and a question
Patrice, I remember being worried about my last Herceptin infusion. I believe that is very common with most all of the Her2 gals. You naturally feel like you have nothing to fight/protect you from it coming back. But no worries...Herceptin has done it's job. I know I kind of felt like I was missing something at first? No more labs, infusion's...only 3 month follow-ups with onc...strange feeling at first. But it passed quickly.  It was so odd not to be down at the cancer center...then it took no time at all and I was enjoying all my free time and you will too. So enjoy each and every day. Congratulations...you reached the finish line. Woo hoo! (Happy dance, Happy dance!)
