Woohoo... I just finished my final treatment about an hour ago and I got the diploma to prove it. It was kind of a bittersweet moment, Paula said to me before leaving the room for the final dosage "last one Lorrie". I laid there on that table trying to hold back my emotions. Six and a half weeks led to this last 30 second zap.. I was finally getting my life back.

Nothing left now but the healing up and celebrating. Next step for me is hormone therapy starting in a couple weeks. Have a great holiday weekend my pink sisters and tip back an extra cold one for me.

Stay safe,
Lorrie

    So Happy for You!
    Congrats on your rad graduation. I hope you are super happy to be done with this part of the treatment.

    It's time to enjoy life (if you haven't already started?). :)

    I start my simulation July 21. I heard this day is very emotional, but we'll see. I'll post when my time comes. God's will all will turn out OK for all of us.

    Happy 4th of July. Hope you enjoy this weekend - two reasons to celebrate!

    CONGRATS Lorrie!!!!! I started to cry when I was handed that diploma too! Then there were hugs to make it even worse. One more thing off your checklist!!! Good luck on tamoxifen, if that's your next step. Been a month for me now. Enjoy your 4th!!! What a great time to finish : )

    Jennifer I am still waiting
    Jennifer I am still waiting to party with you buddy,.. you will get there, the end is in sight. The more your body heals from this slight break, the quicker your recovery time will be after graduation. I'll be celebrating for months to come as each of our rad class crosses the finish line.

    A heartfelt thank you to everyone else in helping me celebrate. It's such a good feeling to know that the worst is over. Thank you all dear Pink Sisters... you all will forever have a special place in my heart.

    Happy 4th,
    Lorrie

    Yipeeee ..... Hooray!
    Job Well Done, Lorrie!! You did it, you walked a path many will never know (Thank, God). Next step as a Breast Cancer Survivor, 'exchange' and freedom of all the weekly appointments, zaps, and chemo. Congratulations!

    Another journey - completed, done, finished. Awesome!
