Herceptin Side Effects

Hi Deb. I felt very low after chemo was finished. People kept expecting me to be so happy and I found it really weird that I wasn't. I came on here to say the same as you have, and many reassured me it was normal. It takes a long time to work through all the mental shit that BC brings, and that timeline does not fit neatly into active treatment segments. It's a very unusual person who hasn't had cancer who gets this. I found my relief and happiness that chemo was done with came on slowly. There was never really an overjoyed moment; more a deep relief and satisfaction that it was done and dusted. And that was months later.

We all get it here, so jump on to talk about it whenever you need to. This BC crap is a very big mountain to climb. Chemo is only a part of it. Hang in there. Big hug, K xox
