Hi Judy,
I went off Herceptin in Dec. I was stage IIIb. 3/12, er/pr-. I was so scared. I started getting scared a couple months before it came. The things I was scared most about was that I wouldn't catch it if it came back, but I have my tm going and check ups every 3 months and mams and scans every 6 months. I had a masectomy and just recently had my recon. and in my mind it just did something for me. I felt like I didn't have a daily reminder that I didn't have something. It just did a number on my mind, which has been great!
I am in a good place and just continue to tell myself that I need to trust my body and be vigilant and that is all I can control. I am happy that it's over and yes there are times I get scared still, but not like I was. Life can return to normal for whatever normal will be for us. They say the farther you get out the less you think about it. I hope you have the same experience. Mine has been good. Take Care. k
ps, i still have my port in, just not ready to take it out yet. When the time is right I will know and will have it done.
