Good Vibrations
I'll send some of my good vibes. Right now I've got plenty. My DH just found a job after being without for a few years. So you better be sitting cause they are strong super vibes. I think we are allergic to mold also. Isn't Good Vibrations a song by the Beach Boys?0 -
Congratulations, Ayse!!
Good job on finishing chemo, I remember that day well. I, too, am sending all the positive vibes I can in hopes that your docs can discover and treat (get rid of) the symptoms you described. Hopefully, once the chemo is out of your system, this task is easier and the culprit is identified. One step at a time. But, in the meantime, completing chemo calls for a celebration.0 -
Congratulations on being
Congratulations on being done with chemo!
That is something huge and so worthy celebrating!
Get your "Namaste" on and your party hat!
Don't think those two normally go together, but you
so deserve both!
I love the image Lynn posted above, "Boxing with shadows."
Does the fear and anxiety ever go away?
Maybe with time.
Prayers for you, dear sister!
Peace, life, hope and health!

Congrats!
Ayse - so happy you are done with your treatments.. You are one of the reasons I come back to these boards each day.. I love reading your positive comments and compassion for the others here.. you seem like such a wonderful person that I wish we could meet in person..(but NY is a long way from AZ!!) I am sending you big hugs and good vibes dear sister...
Love,

Congratulations!
Yeaaa! I tried to send good vibes yesterday but my computer was not in good vibe mode! Have you tried a chiropractor for the sinus and chest pain? It might help. I never have been to one but my daughter was referred to one after childbirth for should and neck pain and she and I were amazed that it helped. If you decide to go to one be sure to get some recommendations from your doctor first--not all are created equal in that field.0 -
Sending you healing vibes
Sending you healing vibes and lots of prayers. I think it is normal to freak out as our therapy ends--we all want to be doing something--and when we stop it is scary. Even though, of course, we have to stop and stopping is a wonderful graduation to be celebrated. When my breast surgeon, after like 15 years ;-), said to quit coming, I cried.
And if you really believe something else is going on with your body, remember that you have the right to see someone else. It never hurts to get another opinion.
But, for today, go out and celebrate--you deserve it!0 -

Ah, the Beach Boys! I now can't get the doggone song outa my head! So I shall sing (silently, in my head - I can't carry a tune in a bucket) to you and send those good vibrations your way. I hope the chest and sinus thing resolves on its own and just goes away because you're human and you will worry more about it now than before cancer.
A year of chemo is behind you. My wish for you and all the rest of us is to never have to go there again.

on a job well done. I take from recent photo's, you just finished with Herceptin, right? After a year of chemo .. one tends to what to jump off of an airplane, and into life! Good luck .. Hoping that the positive vibes, and stars align up in your favor, everything comes out clear .. and by sheer luck, you can move back to New York City, to be closed to family and friends.
prayers coming your direction, as well.

But honestly once the day is upon you, this is at least true for
me, you are shocked that it is already over. I can't believe it
has been over a year since my diagnosis, I was so fixated in
doing all I can and learning about anything that can help me,
I didn't even notice how fast the time went by.
I am looking forward to the day, You will graduate and I
can congratulate you.
Hugs,

Sending big, strong, good vibes....
Congrats on the graduation!!!!!
As far as the sinuses, I always have had trouble with mine...blinding headaches at times....EXCEPT during my chemo! I asked about it, and was told that for some cases of migraine headaches, non-cancer related, chemotherapy is used!!!!
Ibuprophen is my 'snake oil', the stuff that really works!

Congratulations, Ayse. Finishing chemo is a big step. Since your diagnosis you've been a warrior fighting for your life.
Once diagnosed, we are never the same...sigh.I think once active treatment is finished, we start feeling like we're boxing with shadows. It is so easy to be scared when we notice something not right with our bodies.
Really...get out that yoga mat, girl! And believe me, it does get better and better with time.
Sending you good vibes always.....xoxoxoxo Lynn
Congratulations! Hoping you will feel better very soon.0 -
Ayse you are one amazing
Ayse you are one amazing gal. I thought you had completed treatment a while ago. You have a marvelous attitude and please dont let worry steal what you need to celebrate, you are a chemo grad. Congrats to you! Get that yoga mat out and relax and relax and relax.
Sounds so strange but it was a happy and sad occasion for me as well when I completed treatment. Our doctors and nurses and staff become family and care just as much about us as our loved ones care. I felt so insulated and cared for during treatment no matter how difficult it was. It felt so good to ring the bell but it was sad to leave the family I saw so frequently. We of course continue to see them but not as often we hope.
Sending prayers and positive vibes to you and hoping you are having a case of allergies and nothing more.0
