Hi all, so sorry for my radio silence. I have been feeling good so decided to re-join society a big and have been out for dinner with friends a couple of times, went to the coast for a day, bit of gardening, work and had a friend to visit overnight..a bit of normality after a long dull summer. Brought down to earth last night as took my pre chemo steroids yesterday and only got 2 hours sleep last night ..not helped by snoring next to me 😡 So up very early. Final chemo is today 🎉 😁 , no bell to ring at my hospital but will do it in my head. Have baked a cake for the lovely nurses who have been amazing. I can't say I'll be the last time I go as on Herceptin and permuzutab for the next year so I'll be back every three weeks till next July..deep joy! My rads only start in Oct sometime so I too am looking forward to Christmas and saying goodbye to this crappy year. so much to catch up on from you lovely ladies. Hets..well done on finishing chemo, I'm joining you in Greece today. JoandBasilthedog- hope you are doing well after your last chemo. I'm sure you look amazing in your bandana..that's what I keep telling myself anyway and I have actually been given compliments! Good luck with the Herceptin. JacqB- hope you're recovering well after surgery and the PICC line issues are resolved..what a pain. agree it's best to let the nurses look at it. Linda- another chemo finisher..yeay..hope you're feeling ok. I also have Ondonsatron and it is not great on bowels. Take Laxido. I'm on permuzutab and that gives you diarrhoea so I am all over the place..hideous! JemPD- well done on chemo finishing..we're all getting there. My muscles are weaker too and Herceptin doesn't help so I'm going to increase exercise once the bad week of chemo is over..more walking, some cycling, assisted circuits, yoga etc..got to get fit. My rads only start sometime in Oct so just focus ing on this last cycle at the moment. For me a Facebook group would be great..much easier for most 😊 . Tanya- also in your last cycle..well done. Sorry to hear that your nails are lifting. I have dark nail polish on so will be gutted if they come off now too. Hope they grow back quickly. Michelle21- I'm also going to get Nioxin2 which was recommended by my hairdresser. i think I've caught up now! Breakfast now..more steroids then heading to the hospital for a heart echo, Herceptin and chemo..fun fun. Take care all and I'll be in touch after chemo Tropic_al X
