Re: crazy request for my oncologist?
So normal to feel concern when your last herceptin treatment has arrived. I have said many times I wish
there was a tune up session of herceptin...something like a 5,000 mile tune up (like our cars).
lol....
But the time comes when treatment ends and we are pushed out of the nest to live on. Sort of like seperation anxiety.
Time - time is the only healer. As the weeks pass you will begin to adjust not going in for treatment. Sounds so strange doesn't it? That we would miss having herceptin. After a few weeks you will see that you are
really ready.
Best wishes to Kelly and Chekmark and huge Congratulations on finishing your treatment. Before we know you will be posting your 1st cancerversary.
hugs,
Jean
