Good news

Hi Everyone, I finished all my active treatment in the middle of September this year. Have seen my oncologist today, and he advised that all is well at the moment, and that he doesn't want to see me until next May. Will be seeing my surgeon and rads oncologist in February next year, so my medical oncologist will play tag team with them, so that I'm seen every 3 months for the first 18 months. Will have my next lot of scans next February. Nice to get past another milestone along the way. My only issue at the moment is a bit of fluid around my mastectomy wound and my right arm. Will see the lymphoedema nurse tomorrow as my chest is taped up at the moment. She'll show my lovely hubby some massage techniques, so we can get on top of this issue. My cording has snapped, so that's the next bit gone forever. I'm going to down a whiskey and Coke tonight as a little celebration with my hubby, Cheers and cuddles, Trace ????????????

    Hi Lyn, it is a bit different at this stage. Just have to push forward in a positive way and have faith that it will be alright. ????????

    That is such a relief I am sure.  Any break is so welcome.  May I ask how you managed to snap the cording? (physio or on your own?)  I have had a lymph physio treat me couple of months ago after my initial surgery and then stopped going. I recently after radiotherapy noticed cording again under my arm.  My  surgery was Feb 2015.

    Good to good to hear that Tracey. Reminds those of us still in the middle of active treatment that there is an end to it.

    Are you on hormone suppression treatment? If so, how's that going?

    Take care, Lyn
