finished treatment today…
finished treatment today… Well I can say its a mixture of joy , no more drugs sickness, hospital stays and pain and sorrow, coping with all the changes and some fear about the future and a huge dollop of what happens now…
I never thought I would get to the end nearly a whole year of treament, I have had good treatment , lots of help and support. But its been difficult both emotionally and phyically as you are all well aware of.
My sorrow is mainly because I am not longer the person I was, I was carefree and probably taking more for granted, I will not ever again be able to. I am stronger and hopefully wiser and look forward to the future even though I am scared.
I would love to hear any information on triple negative cancers (ER neg PR neg and HER2 Neg)if they are any other women out there with this. No other treatment avaible but will change diet/ exercise to improve my immune system.
Good luck to you all.
Thinking of you and sending huge hugs…

congratulations! Well done on finishing your treatment. As you say its a long and often difficult journey. Give yourself time and lots of pampering and treats. Sorry I cannot help with your other query.
Wishing you all the best in 2007.

Well Done !! Congratulations on finishing your treatment Rosie, I can understand how you feel, I too am triple negative ! , There are a few more of us on this site too
I finished my chemo and rads on November the 14th, on January the 2nd I was discharged from my onco care, no more follow ups with her, and transferred back to the care of my surgeeon. His follow up due in 3 months, which will be a year from my diagnosis. Scary stuff
Good luck to you

Also finished treatment I finished all my treatment mid November (surgery, chemo and radiotherapy). I too am triple negative and whilst at times this is very scary I feel at least that I do not have to do anything else. All treatment is over. Perhaps I have a warped imagination! My friend was diagnosed a few years ago with BC and has put a lot of weight on with Tamoxifen. I have put on a lot of weight already with the inactivity etc so am grateful that I do not have this to tolerate too.
I too feel that I am not the person that I was. I have become very intolerant and weepy. This is gradually getting better but I often wonder will the old me return. Perhaps I will be a better me?! The biggest thing I find difficult is the not coping with any form of stress or hassle. I used to be the one that coped but now I’m not and I hate it.
Reading this site has kept me sane (well as much as possible) and more accepting that I am not the only one out there that feels this way. I have been reading the site since diagnosis but have only recently signed in. So perhaps that shows I am getting more confident.
Thank you to all who have contributed. xxxx
