Completing chemotherapy

1 minute read time.
Hi All, Just wanted to let everyone know that I've finally finished my chemo and and feel great, still a few side effects floating about but can't complain..................... after the year I've had side effects seem like nothing at all. I just want everyone to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel and to try to keep that in focus when you're on the long............. hard............... slog... that is chemo, radio and surgery. I know it's not easy to stay positive when things get bad and not everyone has a success story with this horrible disease, but hopefully the majority of you all will. It's a difficult thing to get through, you sometimes feel so alone, especially when the people closest to you try to understand your pain but don't really. I'm so glad I found this site, it gave me hope, and whenever I had bad moments - which were plenty - then to read the blogs on here made me humble and realise that I wasn't suffering this on my own and that there were funny, kind, courageous people having to go through this every day and all at different stages.............. You're all brilliant - take a bow - and you've kept me sane - thanks for that :0) Don't want to mention names but I've really enjoyed the story blogs and nosing into all your lives......Oops makes me sound like a peeping tom! Anyway, I still have my scans to go in October and more endescopies :-( but having this horrible disease has made me treasure every day - endescopies and all .................. bring on the Picolax! I know my fight with this might not be over but I feel that at least I've come through hopefully the worst. I know from other blogs that it might return but until then I'm going to enjoy every day to come and try to be a more positive person - something I wasn't too good at being before! Sorry if this sounds long and boring, hopefully none of you have fallen asleep, but if it can just make one more person feel positive then I'll be glad. Take care everyone Cheers Marie xx
