Profbee,

You're not insane just human it really is so scary when you look at your little ones and wonder if they will get a Mummy to grow up with!
On the plus side for you the complete pathological response puts you in a good place you know just need the 'insurance' package you signed up for! There are drugs they can give you to help EF and of course you have read all these other suggestions on this thread. I wish you well.
I have my echo tomorrow so fingers crossed I can get another Herceptin in and then only 1 to go.

Denise how did your echo go??
