You are all the most extraordinary people, with all your thoughts and supportive messages and cyber-love that I do receive and feel. That in itself is healing. You surely are angels in disguise.. :wings: Your prayers have been gold threads of hope for me.
Yes, my last chemo is OVER! It was horrible, I felt sick etc (you read the report) and this week has been a final test.. my emotions all over the place again :bigcry: , discomfort, pain, and utter tiredness. Sleep became my best friend.
My other best friends were here for me - my, how I've learned more than ever the value of unconditional friendship, being on the receiving end!
So now it's a month of recovery time and then the Radiotherapy. My hair can start growing again though I'm told it'll take some time - but at least it's being given the chance. I can start losing the weight that steroids and treatment have piled on, and start seeing someone other than a puffy walrus when I look in the mirror. Hopefully my sense of taste will return soon and I can enjoy choc again! My self-esteem went so low as to be non-existent, and needs to be boosted now.
Did any of you see the 'What Not to Wear' TV program featuring the ladies who had had mastectomies? That had me shedding many tears because what they said and how they felt was true for me.
So, yet again, thank you my friends for gently pushing and pulling me through all this. I love you.
