Finished Radiation!
I wanted to post to let those folks who are going through radiation know that they can get through it. It feels so great to NOT have to go tomorrow.
Also, my onc gave me prednisone for the joint pain prior to my last Herceptin tx and it has been so much better. I will have to see how it goes.
Hope everyone is enjoying Summer.
Emelie

Congrats Emelie on completing rads. I was ecstatic to that I had my mornings back to myself and that I was done making that daily trip. It really went fast and it wasn't bad...nothing was as bad as chemo. Enjoy your free time now.

Emelie,
I know exactly how you feel. I just finished May 16. You will love your freedom. I still can't believe I have the entire day to enjoy.
Congrats! Life is good.

Congrats E! I started to become unglued during rads. Made it, but rads just added to the mental journey. Feel good, as it's all downhill and easier from here. Bev
