    Congratulations!
    Great milestone!

    I can't offer much on the aches 'cause I didn't have that problem but you should definately bring it to you drs attention. I often took Tylenol PM during treatment just to help me sleep. Have you tried something like that? You need to ask first of course. Let us know what you hear on Monday.

    First of all, Congratulations!!!
    You may want to try massaging your achy muscles in legs,hands and fingers, gentle stretching and any type of movement.

    As suggested, please contact your doctor and see what he/she recommends.

    Strength, Courage and Hope.

    Aches and Pains
    Yes, I had the same. When I tried to get out of bed felt like I was going to fall over and took me ages to get going. Aching fingers in one hand and just generally. Kind of felt like a hangover. Has now finally nearly gone my last chemo was last November. One the other hand at my age you get a lot of this stuff happening. My oncol once said we blame everything on Tamoxifen, I still feel we know how we feel better than anyone else. Did not have radiation. Bilateral.

    You're a Rad Grad!!! Yay!!!

    Sorry to hear of your pains. I'm going through Rad now ... almost halfway through. I notice my heel is sore on my left foot after sitting for a while. I'm not sure if it's a SE or just age. Otherwise all is good thus far. Looking forward to reaching the milestone you've accomplished. Im going to speak with my Radiologist about my sore heel. I concur with others that recommend you talk with your doc about the pains.

    Wishing You all the best on your journey!!!

    Hugs~

    So happy for you!
    I love to read about people finishing their treatment because it helps me to see the light at the end of the tunnel! What an amazing feeling you must have. I am trying to think what I am going to do with my family to celebrate the end of my treatment and hopefully the all clear sign. Maybe a trip out west to be swept away by nature's beauty...
