    Well, its coming up on Monday, my last chemo treatment!! I cannot believe I have had 3 treatments already. After the chemo, I will be treated with Herceptin and Taxol for 12 weeks, weekly infusions. So, it will be a tough 3 months. After that, treatment is back to every 3 weeks for a year ... Herceptin only infusions. My head is bald but I have wigs. Pretty soon it should start growing back. It's weird wearing a hat in the house, but my head gets too cold. I also have some scarves when it's not too cold. My reconstruction is going good, this month I only have 2 more minor surgeries to put in more water in the expander. March will be when they put in the final implant, for now I've had a temporary that had to be filled up gradually with water .....stretching my skin since August.

    I'm so glad the end of your treatment is within sight! Sounds as though you're handling it with practicality and a positive attitude, which is half the battle.

    Hugs,
