2nd to last Herceptin infusion?

June 24th — Could it be? Could the end be in sight? After my treatment today, I only have one or possibly two more Herceptin chemo infusions left in my 15 month breast cancer treatment. Since the last infusion falls during the week Greg and I will be zip lining through the tropical forests of St. Lucia or ordering another round of frothy beachy drinks, I asked my oncologist if I really need to come back from vacation and have my last infusion. He told me a new study shows that six months of Herceptin treatment seems to be as effective a cancer deterrent as my scheduled 12 months. Do I really need these last few infusions? Like just about everything else in cancer world, no one really knows. Maybe like everything else in life, no one really knows. Is my lesson here to put one foot in front of the other, smile at everyone I meet, and get up early to make rosemary-strawberry scones for breakfast? Sounds like a plan.
