Penny,

I always ask my oncologist for a "do not worry pill", but he is fresh out LOL!

I am almost a year out of chemo. My onc did warn me it is normal to fall apart a little at the end of chemo- which I did. Finding the courage to be at peace takes time. I find for myself, finding out all I can and doing all I can to prevent a recurrance gives me the peace to enjoy life. I won't let breast cancer rob me of today!

I find this board and others a great opportunity for support and information. I am also lucky enough to know 2 other women in my area that just went throught the same thing.

Congrats on finishing chemo and best of luck to you!
