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,

  • Hi Tracey!

    No, it is my wig, it is so similar to my normal hair, most people don't notice unless they are away of what I am going through.  My beautiful 9 year nephew has made the funniest comment, 'it looks the same just more boofier at the front.' We all lost it as you can imagine. I lost all my hair after about a month.  Thanks for the congrats and kind words.

    Kind regards

  • Isn't it a great feeling, to know that chemo is behind you. The six weeks of radiotherapy will fly by comparison. It can be a bit of a slog, going to the hospital every day, but the side effects are nothing like chemo.

    Wow, your hair looks great. You've either kept all yours, or have a really, really good wig. 

    Enjoy the break until radiotherapy, rest up but also do some things you enjoy.

    Take care, Lyn

    Lovely to see you smiling and I am so envious of your hair. Did you use the cold cap? Enjoy the next few weeks without treatment, it's all plain sailing from here. Good on you ??

  • Oh Sue that is such great news!!!! Congrats to you and wishing you all the best for the future.
