Whoop whoop, chemo done and dusted!
The relief and joy is so overwhelming when you complete your last round of chemo. All my family and friends cannot believe how happy I looked in this photo. I now just have to get through the next week of side affects which up until now have been pretty mild accept for the achy body and fatigue, loss of taste and a bit of constipation. The ongoing hot flushes day in night in has been my biggest bug bare. When I saw my oncologist on Friday she said that the chemo had probably triggered the parymanopause in manopause so she is enrolling me into a manopause workshop which was really nice of her to offer me. I am hoping that I can get some valuable info and tips from it, I hope this will be all this round too. I will then have about a months break before starting 6 weeks of radiation and start the hormone therapy of temoxidan. There is light at the end of the tunnel for me now and it was lovely to hear on Friday from the oncologist that you do not have breast cancer any more, what we are doing now is treating you to prevent it from coming back.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and are loved and spoilt tomorrow for Valentine's Day.
Hufs from the wes,

That's so sweet and lovely of your sister to do that for you. Take care yourself. Lyn. ????
Ooh, The Lion King is fantastic, you'll love it.
One of my amazing sisters bought me a pair of Pandora earrings when I finished chemo, & another pair when I finished radiotherapy.
Enjoy your pamper day.
Take care, Lyn

I am am half way through five weeks of radiation and am on Tamoxifen. Hot flushes are a bit of a pain but after going through chemo that's a breeze!!
good luck in your future treatments.

Hi Sue - good on you! What a great milestone. Your hair looks fab, and matches your smile, who would know!
Sleep deprivation; no one gets used to it along with the aching bones but it is all for a good cause!
Woo hoo! Take care

Thank you very much ladies for all your congrats and happiness for me that I've gotten through this crappy milestone of my treatment program. The relief is amazing especially when you finish the medications to that go with the chemo. Today has been pretty good side affects wise, just loss of taste, a little constipated but now I am becoming achy and so the medicine cabinet is now my friend. My hubby spoilt me with flowers this morning, I have done a few jobs around the house and have had an arvo nap because of sleep deprivation, Hope you all have had a lovely day too. ??.
