Hi Linn,

I know its a whirl of medical appts right now and you feel you'll never be done but each day gets you closer to the finish until you reach a day when you look back and wonder if it all really happened!!

Herceptin has very few side effects for most of us unlike chemo, and usually rads is a breeze too (at least it was for me) so plan a little treat for when you're finished as you sit there today and think of how proud you'll be of yourself when done!
