My Story

I finally came to the end of my treatment! 6 & 1/2 weeks of radiation finished wednesday last week. What a relief! It feels so strange not to have to go to an appointment every day, not to have to lie under a giant machine and stare at a blank ceiling. I thought I'd feel more stoked about it but it ended up being a bit of an anti-climax.

I was all prepared, made a traditional greek desert, thinking my family would be around that night for a mini celebration (as they were when chemo finished, and both surgeries finished), but this time, no one, not even a phone call! We thought they may have forgotten,which was a little sad but I soon got over it and so did my partner. He had 3 days of eating his fav desert, so he wasnt complaining!

Now financially, we struggled quite a bit as my partner lost his job during this process, just to add to the fun times in cancer paradise! He is starting work again soon but I'v decided to take a little break before getting back into it. Looking forward to going on a little holiday and recoupe.

Once we gather some money together again, my partner and I were thinking of hosting an end of treatment~surprise wedding celebration. Lets shock our family one more time but this time for the better! We were supposed to be  married in march this year and I had to cancel everything when I got the bc news. So we may as well end a crappy year in a BANG! 

Hope everyone just starting treatment is keeping well and congratulations to those who've finished and are feeling relieved.

Here's to a better year ahead!

Happy little vegimite, over & out :)
