WoooHooo last chemo!

Just uploaded a new profile pic that a friend took today at my last chemo. Am so glad that part is over and no more being jabbed..only took 3 goes to get the line in today and now just have to get thru the next week to 10 days...and only 2 more days of the dreaded dex...have been getting a bit over it all really so will be glad to get onto the next step...radiation and then he said today we talk about drugs then...I assumed it would be tamoxifen which is what he, the oncologist, had initially said...anyway will wait and see and be guided... I had the work up for radiation the other day so am all ready, measured up and tattooed...so that starts on the 7th may...so am aiming to start and get my life back at the end of june....and back to work with a little more than the fuzz I have on my head atm.. Anyway am tired but happy that this is over..i know I have been lucky with only a few side effects that have been manageable...but....just feeling over this shit.. Hope everyone is going ok..
