Well That's A Bummer
So my last dose of Herceptin was scheduled for January 30th. I am a wee bit dramatic and planned an over the top exit from cancer. I have been working on a sugar figurine of myself to put on top of a cake to take to the infusion center. I order balloons that will be delivered on January 30th. I ordered a T-shirt with my official NED date which would of been 01/31/13. A friend of mine was scheduled to come to document my last treatment and we were going to make a fun video to Girl On Fire by Alicia Keys. I had a vision....and then came the call from my Oncologist telling me that in fact they miscalculated and I was actually done two weeks ago.
I had a lot of anxiety about finishing treatment. I felt so safe getting Herceptin every three weeks. And I knew I would be stressing as January 30th approached. So maybe God planned this for me to ease the anxiety and stress. Maybe I'll take the pink balloons to the Labor and Delivery wing and give them to all the women that had baby girls.
