Re: Last Herceptin today!

I am a bit late in the response to this post...since you finished in August. But what can you Expect ? hmmmm I want to tell you to expect good health and long life.

Of course you will feel concerned and bit anxious not having your Herceptin. We become very dependent on it as a sort of life line. I know when I stopped 6.5 yrs.
ago I didn't want to. I even asked my onc. if he could give me additional treatments as it was a bit hard to let go of my herceptin safety net.

In time you will feel confident once again and letting go and moving forward. It is the new normal.

Many of us had the seperation anxiety of completeting herceptin treatment.

I wish you all the best in finishing your herceptin treatment and moving forward to life.

God Bless,
Jean
