Hey folks.
Iāve just finished my last chemo!
4 x EC (fortnightly dose dense)
4 x pac (fortnightly dose dense)
With a few weeks of delays due to infection and peripheral neuropathy I wasnāt sure Iād be able to see it right through to the end but Iāve got there.
Not feeling particularly triumphant but itās something else ticked off the list. Small wins.
Will be lying low for a few days as usual then planning on a short (fairly local) caravan break with hubby and the kids next week then a couple of weeks before radiotherapy and hormone suppressants.
Iāve been told Iāve to have monthly prostap injections along with exemestane for 5 years then 5 of tamoxifen.
Hope the last few weeks of chemo are going reasonably well for everyone.

Had my surgery (completion of axillary clearance) on Tuesday & doing ok. Another box ticked. Biopsy results in 3-4 weeks, then radiotherapy. Itās a long haul, but we are all making progress!
I hope everyone else is doing ok, especially now that most of the chemo is coming to an end x

So nice that everyone is ending their chemo and ticking the boxes 
I received the pathology report today and while the margins are clear and no spread to lymph nodes (amazing news!), there was 4mm of residual cancer in the tumor. So Iāll have 15 sessions of radiation and then 6 months of capecitabin (oral chemo). Right now, I just want to cry. The doctor and my friends say itās a very good result but I see only 6 months of more treatment ahead of meā¦of course, I can choose not to take it since they do it ājust in caseā but I donāt think I can tolerate the risk of recurrence.
Itās such a long journey to cure something that seems so tiny and so huge at the same time

Hi all not been on here in ages!!
Was really poorly on the switch from EC to DOCETAXEL and had allergic reaction (twice), so they stopped my chemo.
Now on day 4 of my radiotherapy (10 days planned) and it is so much gentlerā¦ā¦and quicker!!
Lots of lovely people too 
Few more to get through then 7 years of tablets 
but I donāt care cause I can get to feel normal again.
Iām still a goof! ā¦.and still trip over air 
without alcohol hehehe
Wishing everyone the best!!!
ā¦ā¦and hello @cruising ! ā¦was really nice to meet you today

Had my 1st/10 radio yesterday and noticed someone with a Little Lifts bag, got chatting and we both realised were in this group, so a big HELLO to @sa72 and great to see you again today, Iām sure weāll catch up next weekā¦ donāt forgetā¦ no more building cabinets lol xx Good to see everyone coming to a finish with chemo, I promise radio is sooo much easier, they have a bell here too so you can bet iāll be ringing it.

So good to hear youāre doing ok and that radio is so much easier. I have one chemo left on Tuesday! Just want it over and done with now! 21 weeks of chemo (15 cycles) has been tough! I get a 4 week break before radio (well Iāve got a ct scan and injection in those 4 weeks). Thank goodness this chemo will soon be over! Iām currently in bed as it hits me on a fri and sat! X
