    Wow I remember that feeling.
    Wow I remember that feeling. I don't know about the hot flashes increasing but I had a hysterectomy prior to my cancer. Radiation wasn't bad at all.

    Congratulations!
    It's no little feat finishing chemotherapy.

    That's one HUGE step out of the way.

    Rest, you've earned it.

    Congratulations!!
    It does feel GOOD, doesn't it? Just give yourself some time to recover and you'll be heading down the home stretch and actually reaching it before you know it. Way to go!!

    Heartfelt Congratulations!
    Huge accomplishment - and, not an easy task. Glad you're done - that the chemo part of your journey is over now. Continue to be good to yourself, and take advantage of the break before beginning rads.

    Kind regards, Susan

    Update
    This last chemo just about kicked my a**.....I have never been so sick...I find it so interesting how these chemicals affect the body.....This was the first treatment that actually brought on the vomiting usually it was just severe nausea.....But 5 days later I am feeling a little bit more normal and just keeping my eyes to the future....
    Was suppose to try acupuncture this time but the lady called and cancelled she was sick..So I will be left wondering if it would of helped with the nausea...Oh well...
    Just kicking back to enjoy my break before rads....Thanks again for listening or reading....

    Now, enjoy your break before rads!

    You will do fine! There are lots of rad posts on here to help you with some questions, but, make sure to ask your own rads oncologist everything you can think of.


    Good luck,
