I have only 10 more rads to go and (stick a fork in me, cuz) I'm DONE!! Started the Arimidex last month and that is going fine(just some nausea and bone pain) but nothing like taxol/neulasta! I'm poised to cross the finish line and just want to say that the support I've received from all of you have made my journey bearable. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

Peace,
Dianne

    No need...
    No need to thank us, but you are most welcome! It's what the women on this board do best....life one another up and cheer them on... You're on the home stretch! Conserve your energy so that on the day of your last treatment, you can celebrate big time, pat your self on the back....job well done!

    It's been a long journey....
    Wishing you the best and continued good health!

    Yea... Diane,
    I start my rads next week so thanks for blazing the trail for me. I too will celebrate when this is all behind me. Look how far you've come. Pretty soon we will be like our mentors before us cheering on and uplifting future pink sisters. Let's hope the chain ends soon though... Congrats girl.. hang in there the radiation beam is running low.

    you're in the home stretch. Rads will be over before you know it. I was amazed at how fast those 6 weeks went by. Hope you're doing well and not too burnt. I only had mild burn last 4 treatments.

    Diane, I hear you, dear Sister .... D o n e!
    Can you believe it????? Crazy right! How much have your learned and endured over your journey. So very PROUD of you :-)

    Once rad's are completed, take a step back .. and smile. You have walked a path, many women (Thank you, God) will never walk or understand .. and come out victorious!

    Strength, Courage and Hope.
