My GP's wife told me to do something for myself to celebrate my last chemo, last Monday. Even if it is a bunch of flowers. I don't have any gfs geographically near me but I took myself out for coffee and my favourite cake. I felt I wanted a sense of closure which my family are unable to understand or contribute to but the chemo nurses and even the cashier at the hospital dispensary all 'got it' and said congrats. I also wrote chemo a little goodbye letter and popped it on my facebook page (my supportive gfs read this though it doesn't have to be public). I just felt I had to shut the door - well, slam it! - and move on to the next challenge, rad for 6 weeks and herceptin till Sept. I understand that anticlimax feeling so tried to get rid of it. Came home buzzing last Monday and expected family to share my high, but nothing. So as Sarah Henderson said, if you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, go down there yourself and switch the bloody thing on! (Sometimes easier said than done!) Best wishes, and good onya!☺
