Finishing Chemo, starting radiation

Well, I never thought it would end, this horrible chemo is finally nearly over! Thursday is my last day, I am also going to have my scans for my radiation before I have my last chemo. It's been tough going, lots of tears, many times I didnt think I would make it, but with help and support from my wonderful family and friends, and many of you wonderful, wonderful pink ladies I made it through chemo and I only have to be sick from it 1 last time! Yipee!!! Thank you wonderful ladies. Your support has been invaluable xxxxx

    One last day of feeling rotten but then you have the rest of your life to cherish with your family.  Well done, it only seems like yesterday you came onto this site after being diagnosed, and now you are nearly finished.  Thats good going.  Stay positive. Cheers Jo xx

    Better get that bottle of bubbly on ice for Thursday night! So glad chemo is almost over for you- radiation will seem like a walk in the park in comparison, I hope the last chemo isn't too hard on you- best wishes for Thursday.

                     love Tonya xx

    Well done Penny! Things will get better and better from here on in! Radiation treatment is pretty easy too, so good times are ahead! I've got a great covering of brown hair again now and I have my appointment next month to arrange new boobs. It's been nearly a month since I had my ovaries and fallopian tubes out and I feel really good. I'm three weeks in on the Femara too. I realized the other day that by the time I turn 49, I will have had 5 years on tamoxifen and 5 years on femara! Bloody hell. As long as I stay healthy, who cares?! Wishing you a dream run through radiation. xx Jane
