Almost Done

It's hard to believe that two days from now I will get my last Herceptin infusion, and the year and a half that I thought would never end, will actually come to an end. I cannot even begin to imagine what that is going to feel like -- ask me on Friday!

I suspect that while chemo will be over and as much as I would like to put it all behind me, that I am not done yet. I have had a headache for almost six weeks now. Dr. Schaffer thinks it might be the arimidex but she has set me up for a brain MRI on April 27. We are only doing this to rule out the cancer having spread to my brain. There I said it -- it's not so scary.

Can I live with a headache for five years? I don't know ... probably. That begs the question of quantity of life over quality. I shall not speculate ... we shall wait for the MRI and the results.
