Last dose of Paclitaxel YAY!
So my nurse takes me to my cubicle and wow what a lovely surprise someone had decorated it with balloons, streamers and a big congratulations banner, how good is that, I nearly cried.💗👌
So everything went smoothly today. It was different just leaving with my pegfilgrastim injection and no more pills or bloodtest referral. After chemo I had an appointment with my radiation oncologist it was a different Dr than last time, he said he has been looking at my case and said I might only have to have 3 weeks and not 5 weeks as he doesn't think a certain group of lymph nodes which the other Dr wanted to treat isn't necessary. He only wants to do chest wall & axilla and start in 3 weeks 31/8 but he has to see the CT scan and do the planning yet so things might change, but I hope not, sounds good to me. Talked a bit more then I was off for my C T scan, it was over and done with pretty quick, a little confronting, so I have three tiny blue tattoos dots to align me up each time in the exact place I can hardly see them.
Talked about using mepitel and yes they have it and I can give it ago, hopefully I won't have to much trouble as soon it will be getting humid up here in the N.T. they say leave it on till Fri then take it off for the weekend and moisturize then reapply with new on the Mon. Fingers crossed it will be ok after all I've read about it I'd really like to try it?
So pleased to have got through another stage of my journey☺ but still have those wonderful side effects to go through YUK! Not looking forward to that dreadful bone pain, it's like you just just start to feel good again then you have to go through it all again I'm not going to miss that one bit.
Such a happy, wonderful, relived feeling came over me today finishing chemo.
I hope everyone else is going alright in their journey's
Hugs xx
