Congrats on finishing the "nasty" stuff. The Herceptin (for me) was nothing like chemo. I had some side effects but I actually felt human again. Good luck with the rest of the regime - you will gradually start to feel much better now.

Krista,

You finished the hard part. Compared to what you've been through Herceptin alone will be a walk in the park.
