What did you do to mark the end of active treatment?
So im kindof limping over the end of active treatment. There has been no fanfare, no celebrations and no bells. I finished chemo late. Id been looking forward to finishing before new years and ...
I treated myself before my treatment, as I had a long wait in the public system, despite being Stage 3, ER and Her 2 positive, it ended up being a 2 month wait before surgery then another wait for chemo to start, so from diagnosis to chemo it was close to 4 months! - another story for another time! No wonder I now advocate for better conditions and less waiting time for public patients, especially cancer patients in the larger inner city areas. I really hated having to be in a shared ward with male patients when I had my breast surgery!.
Honestly I cringe when I hear people tell me we have a great public system. Many other countries do not have shared wards, ie women are in a separate ward from men. I digress, sorry.
I bought myself a lovely guess watch and a pair of gold black onyx earrings. Every time I wear my earrings it reminds me that I survived and am here to tell my story, warts and all.
Best wishes to all.
