Completed Radiation!

[msleslie]

I'm so excited to have this chapter closed that I just had to share with everyone. I completed my 33 rounds of radiation today. Now, I'm on the final chapter which is continuing the 750 mg of Tykerb daily along with Herceptin every 3 weeks until the end of July.

Way to go...the every 3 weeks seems so easy after going everyday for 6 weeks! Glad you have made it through and looking forward to reading many years of NED!

Way to go! Can you believe you are finally at this point? It seems so daunting when you first begin, but here you are! Congrats! I am on the final stretch also, herceptin till June. Every three weeks is a breeze compared to the alternative. Take care!

Well done-another hurdle cleared and on the home straight.

Thank you for all the well wishes. I will attend my first support group meeting at a local chapter this Sunday so I can continue to help those who will come behind me. Also, my girlfriend was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer in January. I have been assisting her by attending her doctor appts, allowing her to accompany me to my herceptin treatment and sharing tons of information. Looks like this will be a vital part of my new normal. ~ Blessings to all.

Yay, MsLeslie! Congratulations! Hope all is feeling better with your neuropathy, too...!

I agree, the support we've received is our "pay ahead"...that's how my best friend (breast cancer before me) put it...I didn't want to bring her back down the road after she finished treatment, but she she said, "Oh, no, I'll be there for you the way someone was for me...that was my "pay ahead." And you're right, it's part of our new normal.

Best wishes,

Leslie,
