Congrats on finishing your chemo & all the best for the rest of your BC journey @JoeyLiz - I really like the idea of the tree too! It would help bring a bit of closure.
When I finished my rads, there was pretty well nothing done to celebrate the end! I'd become quite emotional during that last treatment & the rad nurses gave me a hug before I left the treatment area. The radiation staff had really become my 'inner circle' for the month - and had been just fantastic throughout the whole period & it was really quite sad to be leaving.
Then zippo! Nothing - I just walked out of the clinic! I'd brought up the idea of a bell or similar with Tom (the clerk doing the bookings/paperwork) but it was considered to be bad taste, as not all treatment has successful outcomes, as Irb_03 mentioned. Shame - as I think there should be 'something' ....
