Michelle when you start the end seems so far away , I started feb 1st and it’s my last one next week and it has flew by ! A few days a month it didn’t seem like it but looking back it has certainly gone quick ! I have my Wonder Woman knickers ready for next week when I ring that bell off the wall , rads and herceptin still to go but that feels like it Will be a breeze ! Hang in in thin there shell xxxxx
Thanks Shi, and Rosie you look beautiful and so happy, so much lovely hair already! Glad you had a fab evening. I agree with Shi, the op was easier than the chemo for me too. Michelle, once you get to half way you can start seeing the finishing line approaching, you’ve got this! Xx
Thanks Paloma, Jamesy, Shi and Aliand. You are very inspiring, it means so much when you hear it from people who have been through it themselves. Enjoy your post Chemo celebrations, of which I’m sure there will be lots! X
What a great pic Rosie, you look really happy and well ?
All the best for the rest of your treatment Michelle. As Aliand says, your April forum group will be a godsend, even when you don’t feel up to being involved they’ll still be there with you along the way, posting their ups and downs ?
Fel…you celebrate your heart out when you’re ready…you did finish just a little earlier!!
Thanks for all the positive Surgery comments ladies…I can’t really say how I’m feeling about it all!! Like the whole thing a guess, just want it done!
i felt a bit bad posting my finished Chemo picture because we are not all done…
So meeting up ladies…September is good for me or if that’s too soon then October. I am pretty much willing to travel wherever really.
I think we need to try and make it work for us all and I’m sure everyone agrees Shi…if you’re up for it we’d all love to meet you you’ve been amazing xxx
Fel you beautiful ???lady, you celebrate finishing chemo please because you have finished what your team decided your course was, the 6 or 8 is just a kind of guideline and they adjust around how our bodies cope just like they do when they reduce the dose, so please don’t think you didn’t finish, you did my darling ???Rosie ?? enjoy this weekend get your bag and bits ready, honestly the drain is the worse bit and as soon as that’s out you will be amazed how fine you feel keep ???it’ll be fine fine fine 
you might want to arrange your meet up on pm’s by the way, don’t forget these threads are open to the world ??Shi xx
???Rosie 
And with that fine hair regrowth you’ve managed so quick you’ll be sporting a bit of bed head hair too ???oh and if they help you in get the lady to butter and cut your toast in the morning too, stop you putting any pressure on anything too soon ???Shi xx
All the best with your surgery Rosie xxx

Go Rosie !!! Xxxxxxx
Thank you ladies…new boobs in situ and feeling really good!! The surgeons first impressions where from a cance front it looks good so fingers crossed for the pathology results…xxx
Great to hear from you Rosie. Another part of the journey done ?? Don’t overdo it x
Is there just me left now with one more dose or who is it on weekly ? Are you still going. I’m in my — get the house sorted phase as I didn’t do much last round with only 2 weeks between chemo. But sitting outside with a cup of tea (that I can’t really taste) helps. How I long to taste properly again!
Keep swimming thosexwho are swimming, keep dancing girls on the beach and Rosie you can just watch out for sharks for a bit, give me a shout if you see any. X
Well done Rosie ! Rest up now xxx
Aliand my final one is Thursday , had my date for my Hickman line out , can’t fit me I. Till 5/6 and for some strange reason have started to get a rash off the dressings think my body is saying enough now Karen xxx
I’m also sitting outside just waiting to go and sort out complimentary therapies at hospital xx
Well done Rosie, rest and recuperate :smileyvery-happy: Glad to hear everyone has nearly finished chemo now, hang in there ladies.
I think I have oral thrush as tongue is coated in thick white stuff. Girls, will it clear on its own or do I need to get treatment?
Hi all,
Aliand, I thought yesterday was going to be my last but was told that my onc had prescribed another dose on the 4th of June so I’m going to be having more cycles than originally planned - almost as many as you! I’m a bit disappointed as I went in yesterday thinking that was going to be it, you can imagine how I felt when told there was going to be another one. I didn’t cry tho, maybe because I was on the chemo unit and not at home. I’ve been changed to Abraxane so I’m praying it’s not too harsh if I have to do 2 ?
I feel like I was dropped in the middle of the bloomin’ Atlantic and I’ll never see land again ?♀️
Paloma, it would probably clear up on it’s own eventually but I found it soo gross I got treatment both times (and have more in the cupboard in case I get it again) and it cleared up in a couple of days.
Hi ladies still in hospital having IV antibiotics till tomorrow but all is good with the boobs…physio came in today and said they’re like two adopted children…the first few weeks are the most delicate and I have toolook after them so we bond!!! Loved the analogy…
Amy I. So sorry they’ve hit you with another session I’d definitely have cried. You are so close now lovely. Aliand when’s your last one it most be next week or so.
Shocked im going to float out on my new boobs and pull you to shore…
Jamsey so pleased it’s your big finish this week…it will feel increadible next week when you come out that fog for the last time…we are all so close now ladies…so close to joining the real world again xxx
Rosie:heart:???well done lovely, rest up and don’t forget to name your adopted children so you bond ???paloma, you need to get fluconzole tablets for that my darling, I got thrush moth every round ???it’ll get rid of it and keep you safe as shocked said ???immune system Amy ???speed boats on its way then you and Aliand can enjoy the raft with all the trimmings for a little while before you leap to the Sunbed’s on the beach we are cheering you from the beach and can see you, hope you can hear us cheering you both on ???Shi xx
This cancer lark costs money I’ve just booked a cheeky week away after chemo between rads . Got insurance for Majorca 14 quid !! Told them everything so well pleased all inclusive and my kids are already there I’m going to surprise them will stock up in factor 50 but I’m excited xxx
Jamesy that’s fab, hope you have a great time ?Insurance is good!
Shocked, the flushes are a right pain aren’t they? I use an old fashioned handheld fan at night (a Spanish ladies one not battery). It helps slightly
Yes shocked I’m just going to turn up , they will only have 3 days left if theirs , will be fab I hope x
