I feel so relieved and happy to have had the last of my eighteen Herceptins today. There haven’t been any problems and it’s been surprisingly stress-free compared with Chemo. Today, my veins were complimented on as having withstood the rigours of all the treatment remarkably well. This isn’t the first time “the veins” have taken on a persona of their own and I had to say that I was very proud of them!!! Little things mean alot and any compliment these days is welcome.
This day has been a long time coming and I feel excited (not sure if that’s quite the right word) and a little scared about the future. Because I’m strongly ER+/Her2+ I was told today that if the cancer is going to return it will do so sooner rather than later so that was a bit of a “downer”.
Anyway, I’m going to a great restaurant for a meal with my husband and family this weekend to celebrate getting to the end of this journey and I’m SO looking forward to it.
Many congratulations on getting to the end of your hercaptin. I hope you enjoy your meal out this weekend - you deserve it. Try not to think too much about the possibilities of it coming back - life your life to the full and enjoy it.
hey have just looked at this after you told me you’d written something on here. that is BRILLIANT and i am well chuffed for you! enjoy your meal and av a couple of drinks as well. ( or ten!) Well done you! x
Well done! I’ve just completed my third herceptin/taxotere, so have quite a way to go, but imagine that I too will be celebrating when I get to your stage. Have a lovely meal-enjoy!
I’m half way through - no 10 next week, if my heart scan was OK (doubt over the last one so they sent me for a re-check, find out tomorrow if it’s still beating or not). Although herceptin is going much faster than chemo, I’m still finding it a long haul. Looking forward to November when it’s all over.
