Last Chemo today
Hi Everyone, had my last chemo today, and so chuffed that this hurdle is nearly over. It was Docetaxel, so I'm just waiting for the upset tummy and the muscle and joint pain that will come in a couple of days. I wore my sequinned slippers and my favourite lipstick. The oncology staff all gave me a cuddle, they are absolutely awesome people who really care. Next step is radiation, but not until August. Onward and upward Folks, Trace xxxx??????

Good thanks Karen, will get onto that. Glad you're able to enjoy ice cream now. I seem to prefer savoury food at the moment, where I was a real sweet tooth before. Thanks for your support, Trace ??

Hi Tracey,
My sister ordered it online for me. The skim milk udder cream is recommended radiotherapy. My radiation oncologist told me her other patients swear by it and she reassured me she didn't have shares in the company!
Hope you're recovering well. My taste buds returning slightly today, actually enjoyed vanilla ice cream.

Thanks Kazza, can you recommend which moo goo to get, as I had a look the other day and there were about 5 different types ? ??

Thanks Rowdy, am trying hard to sit quietly, but one part of me wants to run full on into the next bit and just wanting to go full on. My hubby has been fantastic and is helping me to behave myself for the recovery from this chemo. Time to hang up the superwoman cape for a few days. ??

Thanks Karen, Good on you with your chemo, and the Russian hat look, it's always good to see the light at the end of the tunnel, makes the side effects a bit easier to manage when you know that it will soon end. I went looking for moo goo the other day and there were about 5 different types. Which sort do you recommend ? Warm wishes, Trace ??

Hey Tracey.
I've also heard moogoo cream available from chemists is good to. Apparently it's good to start using it on your breast a few weeks before radiation xx

Hi Tracey it is so good to have another milestone. It is a long trip and the only way we get through it all is to take it one day at a time. I remember my last chemo and that feeling of relief. Take care rest up for the next bitxxx

Tracey!!
Well done. Sequin slippers and favourite lippy, I love your style! You're doing good, girl!!
I'm rocking the Russian hat look right now, half way through my chemo, (due to finish late August), then recovery and radiation. My rads oncologist recommended moogoo for your skin.
Take it easy over the next few days with your tummy and body pains.
Big hugs,
Karen xx

That's fantastic Tracey. You will regain your strength over the next weeks. It is wonderful finishing the chemo hurdle! I am now 5 weeks out from Taxol and feeling pretty good. All the best for the next part of the treatment.
