Chemo is over

Oh ya, I just learned to
Oh ya, I just learned to ignore them. It is frustrating, but they will never understand what you have been through nor what you are still going through.

HI Jean,
Congratulations on your finishing chemo! YAY! My last chemo really kicked my butt. I was completely worn out for well over a week instead of my normal 3 or 4 days. It does get better. I've been done since August 25th and still don't have all my energy back, but it does get better. Hang in there. Hugs, Jean

Yeah!!! Chemo is finished,
Yeah!!! Chemo is finished, congratulations. It does take awhile for the energy to come back and unless someone has been through the type of chemo treatment that you have been through unfortunetly they will not understand and they just assume that because treatment is finished you should be back to your normal self. I finished chemo treatment June 23rd and radiation treatment October 15th and still have trouble with fatigue. Following my last treatment I ended up with severe bronchitis for about 2 weeks. Take it easy and ignore all those who say you should be back to normal. Give your body time to recovery it has been through alot.

Glad you are done
Glad you are done with chemo! It does take a while to get over the treatments. I really don't think most people get it unless they have been there done that. Hope you get to feeling better. God Bless

I don't know if anyone actually said it, but I'm pretty sure they thought it Congratulations on this part of the journey being over. It truly is a milestone!! Now, you heal. Heal emotionally, physically and spiritually. Take the time to look after yourself and be gentle with your limitations while evolving to your "new normal".

COngrats on being done!!
I'm 2 months post chemo - today mom had her last chemo too!
I just tell people, when they tell me that I should be feeling better, that "actually, I still feel like crap alot of the time". It's frustrating for me too. I'll have some good days where I'm full of energy & feel good, then I'll have a few days where I can barely keep my eyes open & have no energy for anything. Hang in there

You reached the end of the
You reached the end of the tunnel! Chemo is now behind you. Rest and recuperate now, and, I am sure you will start feeling better.
