Hermiracles Wondering how Herceptin Treatment went
Hermiracles...I was wondering how your Herceptin treatment went on Christmas Eve. I prayed that all went well.

Thanks Pinkgirl for updating Patti and Joanne for me. Yes everything did go a lot better this time - no reaction

Only thing is the combination of radiotherapy which knicked my stomach on the way to my spine and the Herceptin - has left me with severe heartburn - the pain is excruciating - been to GP and Hospital - nothing seems to help really and its hard to find a Doc open at this time of year! Pain is only just starting to subside this afternoon. Hope I can get in to see a Doc tomorrow.

Thanks for asking ladies.
Blessings
Hermiracles
