Diagnosed late last year, masectomy and all 30 lymph nodes removed in mid Jan this year.     Tomorrow is my last (6th) chemo - HURRAH!   It's been a roller coaster of a ride, but the support staff, surgeon, chemo Prof & radiology Prof have been exceptional - as has my wonderful husband. I am over being bald and the fluid retention is driving me nuts - I feel (and look) like a beached whale at times and I cannot wait to get my taste buds back, I so miss good chocolate and a glass of champagne!   Thanks to the various drugs they give me in the first week of each chemo cycle (TAC), I have managed to avoid severe sickness thank goodness, just some mild nausea.   Other side effects have not been too severe so I think I have been relatively lucky.    A short break after chemo and then on to Radiation, duration etc. to be determined.    Look forward to reading about other's journeys and experiences.    Toodle Pip!

    Hey Mazza

    Congrats on getting this far through on this wonderful journey you are on.  As they say the worst will soon be over and then you will be able to look back and say that all that was in the past and now you can start living for the present.  They say radiation can be a walk in the park compared to chemo so I am keeping everything crossed that this will be the case for you.

    Sounds like you have been fairly lucky with side effects from chemo so I hope you can continue along this track with no too many detours.

    Well done, yahoooooooooooo kiddo.

    Mich xoxo

    Hi Mazza

    Also doing a dance for you. Hip hip hooray to you.

    Next step and onto the home stretch.

    Glad you haven't had much of a hic cup with your chemo. So now, the radiation should be a walk in the park.

    Have a little sip of the alcohol stuff, I am sure you deserve it.

    Take care and keep posting. Love Julie

    Oh and by the way, welcome :)
