I had my last chemo treatment last Monday and am starting to feel human again!!! I have Meniere's Disease which is aggravated with the saline solutuion, so between dizziness and the other chemo induced joys, the first week is awful, so it hasn't really hit me until today that I am DONE!! I start 7 weeks of radiation on the 15th, but for tonight I am just HAPPY! There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Have a great night, my fellow warriors!

    I am SO HAPPY for you
    I am SO HAPPY for you mama!!! There is indeed a light at the end of the tunnel & you're almost there! Wishing you a fast return to feeling "human" again lol! I'm 3 weeks past my last chemo, and while I'm not back to my normal again, each day gets better than the last! I also have to add that I absoutely LOVE your picture, it is so sweet! I'm a big dog lover, and my parents have a full grown boxer & a boxer puppy, my mom also has breast cancer & just had her 2nd chemo, so i go over there every day to check on her & visit. The dogs for some reason just love licking my stubbly head, one will be on one side, another on the other side & they sit next to me & go to town lol.
    *hugs*

    Thank you, all!
    It is such a great feeling - esp. when I share it with all of you who understand so well. I'm glad you like the picture - it always puts a smile on my face. My 10 month old golden retriever, Hestia, has been my constant companion through this all. My faamily is wonderful, but there is something about a soft coat, a wagging tail, and big brown eyes that warms the soul.

    I know how you feel I finished three weeks ago, isn't is a great feeling.. I think the best time was when it would have been time to go again and I didn't have to.. Yippee. Very happy for you. It is another step out of the way. Take care get your rest Kay.

    So happy to hear you're done with chemo. What a cute picture of you and Hestia. Rads will be a piece of cake compared to what you've just done.
