Last Chemo today....Heading to new chapter of Radio-theraphy
Today is my last Chemo drip, as usual wait and start. Thanks Ross (a male triple my size nurse) good job on my cannulla, no bleeding no huring, quick and sharp. A peaceful day.
From diagonised, 1st surgery, 2nd surgery, treatment plan, pain and wait game, first Chemo in March..... time fly, day passed.
On and off side effect, I even forgot which is which.... I had a thought today to share :
No matter good news or bad news, when "today" is over, it wil be a history, well..... looking back (smile) - I don't give a shit. Who cares, it's over.
So it's good to - early to bed............haha
I know the journey hasn't finish, I have to start a new chapter to Radio-theraphy. I was called on appointment yesterday, but didn't noticed that they start the measurement and marking and tattooing on my chest, and also the CT scan. Well loving nurse, it's true. They all fight and stay with me.
Herceptin will still continue until Mar 2015. Well I am "skillful" now.
Life still go on.
Cheers - to you and you and you and...etc

No I didn't put anything on prior to starting treatment. I have however been using Aloe Vera Gell straight from the plant and then Moogoo Udder Cream over the top of that. The Aloe Vera I apply three times a day and the Moogoo I apply 5 times per day and I drink 2 - 3 litres of water every day.
The radiotherapist told me the burning will peak at approximately day 10 after treatment is finished. I am at day 5 and so far so good. Sore and tired but skin is holding up and hasn't broken down and no blisters.
I hope this is of some help to you.

Hi Donna, I can see you are the one of the best supporters and sisteres here to share with. I hope I could like you with the experience and prth that we've walked through, could help and support those new diagonised ladies so as to ease their worrieness. I like your style.
Thanks for sending me support, I'll keep positive with the journey.
