I just wanted to say I finished my Herceptin today. I feel like I have been on such a long journey and am just pleased to be near the end. Struggling a bit emotionally at the moment, but hey, the sun is shining and things look all right with the world from where I'm sitting.
Well done Cherub! I am having number 11 of 17 tomorrow so looking forward to joining you soon. If all goes to plan I finish on my husband's birthday on 7 August.
Hello Cherub. Well done. I'm just a bit behind you as I've got two Herceptins left. I have to admit I've got mixed feelings about finishing so I think I understand what you mean about struggling a bit emotionally.
It is not at all uncommon to have feelings of anxiety and uncertainty at the end of treatment. If you would like to read something about this there is an excellent paper on the cancer counselling website called 'After treatment finishes' by Peter Harvey. You can download it here.
You can find it on http://www.cancercounselling.org.uk/ resources section.
Great Stuff Cherub Well Done! Finished mine 2nd january so it really was a new year in every way. It's understandable though to have mixed feelings about it. I was exactly the same. It's almost like you feel reasonably "safe" whilst having treatment and then you are left alone to get on with it. SCARY! Best wishes Linda x
