Finished Chemo!!!
I just wanted to say that yesterday was my LAST chemo day! WAHOO! I rang the bell and everyone cheered. Next up will be surgery. I'm just happy to be done with chemo because that stuff was toxic for me.

I had 19 treatments. They didn't do tattoos, they did permanent markers and stickers. It has washed off. I don't know why they all do this. The stickers stayed on through the whole treatment. One came off in the shower right before my last treatment, but it wasn't in a strategic place. See if they can do that for you. Have a blessed day!

Thank you for letting me know! I was told even with the tattoos they do the stickers and permanent marker, so I would rather just do that and save myself one last reminder of this, lol. Are you taking any hormones now? I started the Lupron shots a d will begin an aromatose inhibitor and Verzenia.

I am 75 years old and my breast cancer was triple negative, so hormones for me. Also they first said they wanted me to take Zeloda for a few years but my cancer dr decided it would be too hard on me so I'm not going to do that, either. I had already to take my chances and not take them anyway, after reading the side effects. It would be like going through chemo all over again.

To everyone: I had my surgery and am not cancer free! Surgery was a success but of course I got sick two days after and spent over 2 weeks in the hospital with c Diff. I came home finally and think I’m recovering well from that, but I have a cold.
So yes I’m cancer free and really happy about that, but I’m also miserable because I’m sick with multiple things and my body is giving me a difficult time recovering. And also I can’t take narcotics because of the c Diff so the surgery healing was painful.

@Sunny5 odd, I too was triple negative which the drs told me I had no hormone receptors, so no hormones. 20 rads and no chemo, cancer free. I had tattoos and can't even find them. Recovery is hard, fatigue, sore legs, they have atrophied, low energy and emotions all over the place.
