Re: crazy request for my oncologist?
I was totally freaked out coming off of Herceptin. It felt like my safety net and then . . . Yikes, I was on my own.
Which is totally funny, since I was so against doing chemo and Herceptin in the beginning.
I couldn't just sit around and do nothing. I worked on diet, exercise (with a physical therapist specializing in cancer survivors) and joined a cancer vaccine trial. Now I've joined the ENERGY study. And I made a career change to obtain my HHP, specializing in bodywork & massage therapy. I feel I have greater control of my health and less stress now.
Healthy!
Every cancer survivor has the complete right to freak out once in a while, lol!
