Hi all
Just a quick message to say Goodbye to you all! I finished my rads on Friday, have drunk so much champagne this week that I’m almost blowing bubbles! and after a holiday in italy next week am aiming to go back to work part time the following week until Christmas. Then in January I am aiming to return full time. I realise that I will be tired, but feel that the best way for me to move on is to get back on with the living. So I am signing up here probably for the last time(although I will log on from time to time to see how ‘friends’ are doing) then taking all that life has to throw at me with as much enthusiasm as I can muster!
My journey began at Christmas 2006, chemo 4AC then 4 Taxotere, which I managed to survive! (although my nails are still brittle and I lost one only last week)
I had surgery in July, a very neat WLE and axillary node clearance (9 of which had been affected pre-chemo) then 33 sessions of radiotherapy. Just got the Tamoxifen to think about now. I have come to the end of my ‘cancer journey’ as I see it, I feel that i have been as positive as possible and got on with life as much as tiredness and aching limbs etc have allowed. With each stage of the treatment I seemed to have the max. dose, so feel that I’ve been given the best chance possible. So now I am moving on.
I want to wish all of you continuing treatment all the best luck in the world and genuinely hope that you will all be ‘cured’ at the end, be able to put the pain behind you and never have to face this trauma again!
Take care all and thanks to all of you for advice that has been given to me! You have all helped to make this journey go as smoothly as possible.
With love Nicky xx
