I'd be interested to hear how many of you got Herceptin for early stage BC either before or after it came on the PBS about October 06. I was one of my oncologists first PBS patients.

Hi Kath, I know exactly how you are feeling having been in that exact situation myself. I had been told that towards the end of my treatment I would start to feel very low and even though i didnt want to believe it, the person who told me was correct. I think we all go through our highs (wonderful to be alive days) and lows (how long will it last). To have friends lose their battle really does bring it close to home. I finished chemo & rado in 2008 and Herceptin in Jan 2009 and everyday is a new day. I tolerated both the chemo and the herceptin without to much trouble - a small price to pay to stay alive. I have a saying on my desk 'Unless its life threatening, it doesnt matter' and that keeps me from sweating the small stuff. Kath, accept your low days and enjoy your high days. Pretty soon, you will have more highs than lows and hey, isn't life just wonderful. !!!!
