Last Chemo

[MaryAn]

Hey all.

I had to share. I just had my last chemo on Friday. And will be starting my Heceptin treatment and tamoxifen soon. I geel like I just graduated from college, again. But, I guess we all feel that way from all the knowledge we get as a result of this experience. We learn a different language, develop friendships that are unique and have to walk through the situation than walk away from it or going through a short cut.

thanks for all the help you guys have given me through this journey.

I can not wait for that day to come. I just had my port put in on friday and have my first treatment on Tuesday. I am really dreading this. I just want to cry

Morrid21,

Take a deep breath and have a good cry if you feel like it. I've learned (read) it is healthy to allow ourselves to express our emotions.

Let us know how your first treatment goes. (Don't forget to bring something to read if you are a 'reader'. I am - and I fell asleep during the treatment just about everytime.)

Delighted for you Mary Ann and the herceptin was very tolerable for me and hope it will be for you too:)

thanks all. Morrid. I used to hate women who posted that it was their last chemo. I wanted so danged much for that to be me. Now, I know the elation that those women felt, but I know where you are coming from.

Morrid, today you are starting your chemo, your road to recovery. You will find that once you get into the routine it goes by quickly. Before you know it it , you will be saying I finished my chemo. Best wishes and have a Happy Holiday. Mary L
