Hi Rona! Yay! Congratulations at getting to the end of your chemo 🥳 hopefully your body will begin to recover soon. My ulcers are gone, hopefully to never return, it was like some form of torture. The week off and a 30% dose reduction has really benefited me, and I'm feeling a lot better, some of the fatigue I was starting to get again has lifted. My poor fingernails are in a terrible state, and I think I might lose one of them, but they are less tender, although they still feel a bit weird. I have about 3 eyelashes left. I have an appointment scheduled for 3 June for my radiation set up, and we will be discussing my hormone treatment at my next appointment with the oncologist, I am pre menopausal so they are considering a couple of options. I'm not too worried about the radiation, it can't be any worse than trying to eat with what feels like hot pokers stabbing at my tongue. 3 more rounds to go, I should be done by 21 May.
