Today was my final radiotherapy session. I was in again at 8.45, box of chocolates in hand for the department. I might have only been going in there for 10 days but I was in there more than chemo. I had a few tears when hubby and I got outside. There is no bell or anything like that in my hospital, so hubby took a photo of me outside under a sign. I had a bottle of zero procecco and we took that to our force cancer centre and shared it with some of the volunteers there, had a few more tears, then went to my parents.
When we got home, I got my bell out, hubby put his fingers in his ears and I rang it for a good minute or so
This evening we have had a bottle of real procecco and a nice meal at home, I would rather eat at home than in some restaurant where one of us would need to drive.
I'm feeling good and only a little tired, hopefully I'll stay the same, over the next few weeks. I will be having my first bone infusion on 30th July, but before that we are going to enjoy a week away for our anniversary. We are planning on a holiday in Greece or somewhere in September, although I won't get my next mamogram until about October.
I see my surgeon in August, so I will see what that holds for me when the time arrives. My dentist has said he want to see me every 3 months at the moment, but that's fine he's really nice and just wants to keep my teeth in tip top condition with these bone infusions.
I will do an update on how those go. I hear there can be nasty side effects for a few days, but I will wait and see for myself.
Keep going never give up or give in. !!
