Last TC chemo tomorrow Yay!

Tomorrow morning my chemo buddy @"Kiwi Angel" and I have our last chemo treatment.  @"Kiwi Angel" in Sydney and me in Melbourne.  I'm so excited and can't wait for this to be over,  I've considered myself lucky to have a new breast friend taking this path with me.  To share our experiences and symptoms.  Someone I found through this forum . What a great place this is.   I dip in and out a bit as sometimes I find it too much to join in chatting when I'm fatigued. But to know women like me are here to chat to has really helped me through these momentous months since diagnosis.  

I want to thank everyone of you. Those ahead of me in their diagnosis and treatment plans and those who've come after me.  We are all in it together. We share and converse and feel safe here. 

Today ive started my pre chemo steroids so I've done my usual and done my pre chemo cleaning frenzy blitzkrieg, (no rampage this time @kmakm)  ....... and feel great.  I've drank far too much red wine tonight ... because I know I won't be able to tolerate any alcohol for the next 2 1/2 weeks and I've opened the Lindt chocolates and devouring them as I type(the steroids are doing this I presume).

Radiation starts end of June. 

Thanks everyone. Take care. Xxxx

    @finch and @"Kiwi Angel" it’s the best feeling to finish isn’t it. Take it a day at a time still and remember if you wanna pop back on the forum and say hi you can anytime. @"Kiwi Angel" I’ll text you later. Hope you’re not too hungover this morning @Finch both of you ring the fuck out of that bell lol. Thinking of you today. Big hug. Margie

    @Finch @Tigerbeth Yes! Can't wait. I'm driving again so much more flexible for location. You let us know when you're up for it Finchy.

    All the very best for you tomorrow. I hope you get to ring a bell! So good to have it over and done with. I sincerely hope none of us ever have to do chemotherapy again. As do the rats of your neighbourhood!  K xox

    @Finch  :D :D :D :D :D :D breast friend. 

    I couldnt have said it better myself. To have someone to go through this with has been amazing and the support from all the ladies on this forum has been invaluable. 

    Bring in on the final one and hopefully a chance at feeling like my old self in the future before I start on tamoxifen. 

    Big love and hugs @Finch and to all the other ladies on here. Xxooxox
