ABSTRACT
I wasn’t going to write anymore but I feel the need to ‘finish things off’. I’ve had a bit of a wobble emotionally after completing the Herceptin® in May as I’ve joined the many other patients who are concerned about treatment cycles ending. I never predicted missing the three-weekly cannulation and Herceptin® infusion, but now it’s finished I miss the IV team liaison and the reassurance I felt at receiving an IV drug. Despite continuing on the letrozole, which is taken orally, my patient’s brain tells me it’s not as ‘good’, while my nurse’s brain knows that this is not the case.
