Celebration FOW
I completed by 30 radiation treatments on 3rd April. It took its toll on me a little bit after 6 months of chemo. I am still very fatigued but I have commenced an Oncology Rehab program. I started on Tamoxifen just over a week ago and so far, so good. My lymphedema is still a bit of an issue but I am doing everything that I can to keep this under control. I am still achy and I still don't have any taste or smell but I guess that is a small price to pay.
I am booked in for a breast screen and mammogram early June and I must say, that I am a little nervous about having the tests.
I am attending the FOW event tomorrow night and I feel like it is a celebration for the end of my grueling treatment. I will be proud to stand on the MCG with everyone else. Even though it is a celebration for me, I am well aware that for many others it will not be a celebration. I am so happy that I will be there with my Partner, my eldest daughter, my son and one of my step sons. Unfortuneately, my youngest daughter can't make it as she has to work, however I am sure she will be there in spirit
My thoughts will be with everyone who has been diagnosed with this terrible disease.

Good to hear you have finished your treatment, I only have 2 more rads to go. Enjoy yourself tomorrow, too far for me to travel unfortunately. I will be there in spirit, so proud of all of us for what we have endured. Take care,
