Yayyyyyyyy!!!! My treatments are over. 1 year of Herceptin completed Today. Thank God all is going well after Chemo, Rad, Surgery and Now I can check Herceptin off the list!!! Next... Reconstructive surgery in April.

Thanks for all of your support and words of wisdom along this journey. Last year was rough... BUT, I'm looking forward to a Better 2012!!!

My Prayers and Blessing are sent to each of you through this Journey.

    Congrats!!!!!
    What an inspiration to me - I will be starting the last part of my chemo next week - 3 cycles of Taxotere and Herceptin, then a bilateral masectomy with expanders, but I also will continue the Herceptin for a year. A little anxious about the potential cardiac issues. I've had a baseline echocardiogram done and it was fine. I've done so well with the chemo so far (FEC) so hopefully no surprises with this new chemo combo. Good luck with your reconstruction.

    What a great milestone, Mitzi
    Congratulations on completion of Herceptin. You have had quite a year--but look at you now. A warrior in the truest sense of the word.

    Celebrate by doing something you truly love. You so deserve it.

    Congratulations.
    I have been on it every week, it will be 3 months next week. So far no problems, have had 2 echo cardiagrams and both came out perfect.

    Isn't it a great feeling to finish another step.

    Congrats .....I'm right behind you, 2 more Herceptins, get the port out, then finish breast reconstruction (the nipples). We've been through a lot, but the end is near. In addition, my hair growth is coming along, other than it's all white, yikes!

    Again, congrats to u!
