Tomorrow is my final Herceptin treatment – after a year of going every three weeks!
It is a strange feeling, knowing that it will FINALLY be over – but also having that feeling of….oh my god! It’s over – now what??
I have gone for 4 chemo treatments and then 19 of the Herceptin treatments.
It has become a part of my life, knowing that every 3 weeks, I need to get someone to come and take the girls to school because I have to leave at 7:30 to be there for the doctor.
I have seen my doctor and my nurses in the chemo unit every 3 weeks without fail.
And now – I won’t be!
I will admit that while I am so happy to be done, I am feeling a bit of anxiety about my treatment being over.
At least while I was still going, I knew I was still working at keeping the cancer away. But now….
And, I will kind of miss seeing my nurses, sitting down there chatting with them while I have my treatment. I always knew that they would find out anything I needed to know about any scans I needed, or results I was waiting for…..they have just always kept me in check.
So, I will go tomorrow and find out what the next step is for me. I will need to get my port removed. And, the hysterectomy is still up in the air.
This chapter of my cancer journey is over – and it will be a day full of mixed emotions for me, I am sure. But – I will look forward to many new beginnings that this past year has given me:-)
About Me
When I was 39 years old, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. With 2 little girls still needing their mom, I began my journey to getting through everything that was being thrown my way. I had a complete mastectomy with reconstruction, and am now in the process of moving ahead in my life after my diagnosis. I hope I can offer some help, some hope and even just a shoulder to anyone else who is having to face this diagnosis. Breast Cancer Awareness Merchandise
I have been working on some designs for Breast Cancer Awareness stuff - and I plan on using some of the money I make from this merchandise to put towards the cancer fundraisers I take part in - the Relay for Life and the CIBC Run for the Cure - in my community.
