Sarah, lots of love and congratulations, glad is all going well for you, I too had a clear ammogram a couple of months ago, onwards and upwards. I will be thinking of you on your special day. Col xxxx

Great news Sara, best wishes for the 2nd I will raise a glass on the day.

I too am feeling so much better, herceptin complete and now on letrozole daily for next 5 years. 

I think of you all often, what a journey we have been on and I am now at the stage where I just cannot believe it all really happened?

I have had a fantastic holiday and feel just like my old self, hair highlighted and looking more like I did before BC.

Maki, hope you are ok you must be near the end of your chemo now?  Let us know how you are doing.

God bless you all and take care.

Lots of love

Anne

hi Tony and you all lovely ladies. Its been a while since i posted. I thought of you all many times but i must admit i was in a bad place. Its been eighteen weeks since my treatment started and finally this last Friday was my last chemo. I was feeling very bad with the last three that now to be honest i thought i wont make it. It was terrible watching my family going trough so much pain especially my two little boys who have show me yet again that giving up is not an option. My dear people we are all different but i can not forget your support and your spirit. For that Thank you all. On the 13th of December i will start radio for three weeks five days each week and after that is herceptin. The journey is far from over i know and unfortunately still fighting the infection inside my wound but i had brilliant support from people around me and from all of you and that makes huge difference. I am finally feeling better and i wanted to share that with you. I hope i wasnt bothering you. using my phone and being three in the morning i probably sound like lost soul lol. Let of know how you all doing. What is happening. I hope from the bottom of my heart that you are all doing well. Lots of love to you all. M

Hi Maki,

You'll be glad that that's one hoop jumped through - emotionally my 5th chemo was my worst, the 6th and final, not much better, but you do rally quickly from it.  I to had 5 weeks of daily radio therapy, a round trip of about 70 miles as I had to travel to Glasgow, I managed to work and get my radio for the first 4 weeks but took the 5th week off so I could sleep longer.  There are fewer side effect, for me anyway, than the chemo, but be prepared to be KNACKERED, I took 2 months off work in total, but still get tired now, and I'm only back 3 days a week.  Keep your chin up, one more hoop to go then you're there, just rest when you can.

Keep posting and let us know how you're doing.

Hello Maki

So glad to hear from you and that the chemo has finished.  You will feel tired whilst having the rads, but there is light at the end of the tunnel at last.  I know you still have to have the herceptin, but honestly it gets easier from now on.  I had my last herceptin on the 6th October and am feeling loads better now, so keep going girl you can do it!  Try not to do too much over Christmas, sit back and let others do the work - if that is possible??

Loads of hugs

Anne

Maki, so many of us have been where you are in one way or another, and it might be worth going back and re-reading this whole thread as there is so much love and support in here ! We might have moved on a bit in terms of treatment but we can all remember how we felt. It does get better. Ha any one heard how caroline is ?  love to you all xxxxxxxxx
