Re: Chemo Treatments Over!
Congratulations Peg!
I am in exactly the same place you are. I completed chemo two weeks ago, have surgery this month, followed by radiation and herceptin. I will then go on Tamoxifen. I cant wait to have energy and feel like me again.
My hair started to come in about a week ago and I already have quite a bit; well, maybe not but when I look in the mirror I am so excited to see hair on my head again that it probably looks like alot to me. I spend a good part of my day looking at my grey fuzz :P
Best of luck to you!
