Thought it was time for an update. I am very close to the end of this 5 month chemo journey. Survived the AC rounds and have completed 10 with only 2 more weeks to go of the Paclitaxol. I also slipped in an extra week in hospital with cellulitis in the chest wall yet continued with chemo. ๐ The cumulative effects of the Taxol, chemo face and arm rash, steady as she goes peripheral neuropathy in fingers and feet, no eyebrows, fatigue and the yucky post nasal drip will soon start to disappear. I know I am far from the first but have been riding a roller coaster of emotions as this phase is going to end - I am excited and happy but also feel sad and want to cry, am thankful for my treating team, the staff on the chemo day ward, and all those family and friends who have really stepped up for me. While there is more treatment to come and a persistent seroma to deal with too, I am keen to hear what things helped for those who finished their chemo to celebrate or acknowledge this momentous occasion? ๐
