Chemo train come to an end

Hi lovely ladies,

On Tuesday I had my last pacitaxol session, unfortunately no bell to ring or certificate at the PA in Brisbane but it was a great feeling to be finished with that part.  I am booked in for a bilateral mastectomy on 17th April and feeling a bit nervous about this next stage.  On the CT scan I had done recently they noticed a small blood clot on my lung which my oncologist said is common from the chemo medication so I have to have blood thinning medication for the next six months. Has anyone else had this happen? X

  • Congrats Rachel. It really is the best feeling. How tough we are!
  • Hi Rachel. I'm on a similar timeline to you. I had my last chemo two weeks ago and am having a bi-lateral mastectomy and reconstruction on 27/4. The rollercoaster continues... Can I ask if something prompted the CT scan or whether you had it as a matter of course? Sorry you didn't get a bell to ring! They need to get onto that. Thank you. K
