Hi Emma,
Sorry you are going thru the "blahs". I just had my last Herceptin treatment Dec. 2nd. My blahs started a couple of months prior. I also noticed my patience level changed. I speak my mind but I also cry at the dumbest things!! Its gotten a bit better since I had my breast surgery complete. Its much easier to sleep now with silicone implants rather than the expanders. I'm just happy that part of my life is over for good, I hope. My whole life changed, I had a better social life, more energy before. Hopefully I will, in time, get that all back. I hope the same for you and everyone else who are going thru and have gone thru this. To better days to come!!
