Yeah! I'm just through the 2nd to last chemo treatment!!!! I had to share. One more, then a rest, radiation, then I AM DONE!!!!! This may not seem like big news to most, but I have been in treatment for 1 1/2 years, first for colon cancer and now breast. By last count, I have been infused with 5 different chemicals, 3 surgeries, 25 days of radiation, one blue breast (from the node stuff). Oh, and 2 gorgeous (SP?) surgeons, 25 wonderful residents, 5 great roommates in hospital, the count goes on. So, Im dancing today....the sun is shinning!

    Great.... I know when I got close to the end of my chemo... it was a tremendous releif... I still had radiation to do ... but that was so easy. I did my last radiation on the day before Valentines day and I just came back from a Cruise... my way of celebrating life after treatment....

    Enjoy life..... Your enegy will return soon....

    Congratulations! And thank you for sharing. You make me feel like a whine for complaining about 10 months of treatment.

    Do remember to take care of yourself during radiation. You have been through a lot. I tried to resume my life once chemo was over. Big mistake. No one warned me how tiring radiation can be. I was far more tired and ill than I anticipated.
