Yesterday I had my last full Herceptin infusion. Hard to believe it's been a year since diagnosis. I have one more partial infusion to go--on the 28th, and then I'll be done with it. The last infusion will only take 1/2 hour instead of the usual 1.5 hour hookup I usually get. Some doctors dispense with the last treatment, but my doctor is a stickler for protocol. Herceptin: good to the last drop.
I have an appointment with the surgeon 2 days later, at which time I'll set a date for the removal of the port. It can't be anytime soon enough. I can feel the port and the connecting tube (connects to my vein--see a good picture here) just under my skin. It will be a blessing never to need it again.
