Re: Last herceptin tomorrow!
Congratulations; I finished in Aug and felt the same way, very scared at first but have settled in. I haven't had my first check up with my Dr yet so I don't know what is planned, guessing just blood work. My Dr told me I will always be considered to be in remission until the day I die from something else they can consider me cured from cancer. I'll take a life time of remission any day. Congrats on your milestone, here's to many more years of "cured" for you.
