Day 150

and I'm feeling fantastic!!!

My last chemo session was on Monday 12 November so I am now well and truly done. I honestly feel like I am starting to really get my 'mojo' back! I didn't have a lot of side effects with the chemo, and didn't really feel it affected me that much, however now it is over and I am really starting to feel better I realise it probably did have more of an effect than I thought. I guess just generally with things like energy levels and that 'feel good' feeling - whatever that is!

Anyway, I am back into exercise full swing now, eating super healthy, losing a few kilos along that way. Mentally I feel so positive and strong - like I could take on anything!

I've re-enrolled to continue my Masters next year which I wasn't sure I was going to do, and on top of that my partner and I are researching a new business venture. I feel like things are going in the right direction and it's exciting.

Radiation for me will start on 7 January, then after that I'll get a mastectomy and expander on my other breast, then reconstruction on both breasts. I am hoping to have all this done by about mid-next year. My celebration is going to be a trip to Thailand with my partner, brother and his girlfriend - I am looking forward to it already!

I feel like I have a new lease on life at the moment. Life is short...make the most of every day. :)
