Re: Taxotere, carboplatin are done...
Carlatte,
Congratulations on getting through treatment.
You have a tendency to stress about things - like I do. You should consider doing a vaccine clinical trial after you finish Herceptin. You need to enroll within 3 to 6 months depending on which trial.
I have similar problems with imaging - we are stuck doing the self exams and being vigilant for changes in the breast.
I know I must drive my medical team nuts, but if I ever have a recurrence I want it found sooner rather than later.
Statistics are in our favor, especially the longer you are NED, so as time goes by the chance of recurring drops.
Eat your veggies, drink clean water, exercise and find ways to relax.
Most of all - enjoy being cancer free!
