I am done! I had my last Herceptin treatment today and it feels great! I have a friend that works at the hospital and she has been bringing me coffee the last few times I've had treatments. Today she also brought some very decadent chocolate cheesecake to celebrate my last treatment. It was so good! I got a hug from the nurse who hooked me up too :)

I really didn't have side effects from the Herceptin except some weight gain. I gained about a pound or two every 3 weeks and 4 pounds this last time but then I haven't been to the gym much in the last 3 weeks either. There has just been too much going on this summer and I am enjoying every minute of it as I have all of last summer to make up for.

Next week I have an appointment for my yearly mammogram and I will also see the oncologist for my 3 month follow up. I will be able to ask him to set up an appointment for me to get rid of this port.

I saw the plastic surgeon in June and it turns out that he is the wrong one for me. He only does implants and he thinks I will be happier if they use my own tissue for reconstruction. I don't have all the muscles needed to hold the implants in place any more. So I had to wait for him to write Dr. H and then for Dr. H to refer me to someone else and then for that doctor to schedule me in for an appointment. Now I am seeing Dr. C for a consultation on October 20. Waiting, waiting all this waiting!
