herceptin
Good morning all today is my last herceptin, I cant beleive I have got here. Last year when I was told how much treatment I would need I didn't think I would get to the end.
Life can be tough and I...
Hi Rowdy, well done on getting to this fantastic milestone. It is a long, hard road but you've got there :-).
As you say life is tough, but we can be tougher and it sounds as though you've hit on some great strategies for keeping it together. I agree about humour being a great antidote and got through the darkest days of chemo with heavy doses of Karl Pilkington (An Idiot Abroad)!
I remember my last herceptin with a tinge of sadness as although I was over the moon about finishing, I was a little sad to say goodbye to all the wonderful nurses and staff who had given such caring support over 12 months. In a way, because of the length of treatment, I felt we were able to get to know each other really well and I knew I'd miss their genuine interest and support.
Anyway, my very best wishes for today - it is another exciting step towards your full recovery. Jane xx
