Hello,
Well I had Herceptin No 18 yesterday so no more three weekly treks to the chemo ward. I first went to the chemo ward in Nov 2016 and it is not coming to the end of April 2018 - 17 months in total. In an ideal world of original treatment plans, it would have ended in February.
Well there was no fanfare, no fond farewells or the like and I feel quite indifferent about it at the mo.
I am glad that I don’t have to plan my life around a three weekly appointment for now.
Regards to all x
Congratulations Chick1 and Well Done you.
Can I ask you did you feel really low on the first week of the Herceptin? I am due another 8 months of this sub cutaneous wonder drug every 3 weeks( i have had 6 doses IV) but I get really low mood and feel the world especially my 36year old daughter is against me. The exception being my OH ( on this occasion !!).
If it is the drug then thats ok i will just have to get on with it.
cheers
Well done on reaching the end of Herceptin ???xx. A little fanfare for you! Long way off for me yet only 4 down so far but your post gives me hope ?.
Moysieann, sorry to hear you are feeling low. I don’t think it has affected me that way so far. I get a runny odd feeling nose thennit goes dry after a week or so and I get an upset stomach for the first couple of days as well as achy hips.
Hope it settles for you xx
Thank you Moysleann, Chaffinch 17 and Jay68 for your kind responses. Best wishes to you all with your Herceptin journeys and to all other Herceptinites!! ?
