I finished my fourth and final T/C treatment today. I still have rads and meds to keep me hopping but I feel great that this hurdle is over. Wouln't have wanted to do it without all of you to answer my questions no matter how silly I thought they were.

    Congrats Gayle! Finishing
    Congrats Gayle! Finishing chemo was the biggest relief for me of any of the treatments I went through including surgery and rads! I know you are so happy to be done with that dang chair!

    Way to go Gayle!
    That's a huge accomplishment - you're on the home stretch to dancing with NED!

    Get some rest before you start radiation. It took me a few weeks after my last chemo to get my strength back, but it is finally starting to get much better.

    Congratulations!

    Good News is Dance-Worthy!
    Ahhh ... News that makes me smile! Here's hoping that rads are just a fart in the wind for you and you will have a long and happy dance with NED, NSF or NERT. Stay positive and be blessed. Sharon

    Wow, Gayle... that went
    Wow, Gayle... that went FAST! It sure does feel great to sweep this one under the rug! Congratulations! Rads aren't so bad, at least not for me. I've got 7 more treatments to go and so far, I'm doing well. I'm just a little bit sore and I didn't get too red (not yet anyway). I'm much less tired than I got from chemo. Hoping you have any easy time!

    Hugs, Mar

    Hi Gayle, Glad to hear you got chemo over with and sprinting down the road toward the finish line. You're a little ahead of me but we may be doing rads together if my surgery comes thru next week. Hoping the rest of this journey goes wells for you and wishing you the best. Get some rest and celebrate for getting thru chemo.
