Good Morning beautiful ladies. How is everyone doing?

I'm just coming back up for air after finishing my last chemo this last Tues. I dealt with lots of side effects along the way and had to see several other specialists (Pulmonologist Gastroenterologist, Allergist and Cardiologist) to get through some things. Everything seems to be under control at the moment. I'll be even more relieved when I'm passed the 14 day mark and hopefully no longer Neutropenic.

My thoughts and feelings are all over the place at this point, relief, excitement, fear, etc. I'm sure this is normal. Anyone else feel all over the place? I look in the mirror and I struggle when I see my head without hair. I know it will grow back, but gosh, it's the salt in the wound, isn't it.

I start radiation in about a month, then on to Tamoxifen.

Where's everyone else at in their journey at this point?

Sending positive healing light and love to all you brave warriors;)

I too am coming out of my bad days after my 3rd chemo. I more bad one to go then a year of herceptin which I'm told will be much easier! I'm ready to get my hair growing back too.

I have scheduled a recheck with my radiologist and then hopefully will be able to get mapped the same day as my last chemo. I'm ready to get on with it. I want to be ready for radiation as soon as possible.
