Re: Colleen's Last Herceptin
Congratulations, Lee and Colleen. I didn't realize we were both at such similar moments. I just had my last Herceptin and will have my port removed September 11th! I feel the SAME way. Things feel a whole lot better now than when this crap started. Even though I had a horrible day at work today, at least I'm able to work now, and getting the port pulled out is going to be so cathartic! Although I'm glad I had it for the purpose it fulfilled, it makes me feel like a robot or something. In fact, the anesthesiologist told me that when I was high on gas and the surgeon was installing it, I said to them, "I feel like my husband's motorcycle!" My husband will not let me forget that I said that.
Anyway, cheers to us for getting rid of our spare parts.
Celeste
