End of Chemo - The beginning of the end (we hope!)

Yesterday marked 3 weeks after Sal's final chemo. In a week she starts radiotherapy.

I have deliberately not been posting to  this blog recently as we are now trying to put as much of the treatment behind us. So, with that in mind, I have decided to stop this blog.

This blog has been very worthwhile for me. It has allowed me to vocalise my thoughts as treatment progressed and to get others thoughts and feedback. I want to thank everyone who contributed. I hope it has helped others.

Sal is doing fine recovering slowly from chemo... even her hair is showing signs of sprouting again!

I will look in and post occasionally to the forum but as my last post on the blog - thanks.

    Hello Snax and Sally,

    Congratulations on reaching the first goal after such a nightmare start for Sal.  I hope she's using lots of aqueous cream or E45 and not using perfumed soap.  Moisturise as much as poss. and keep well hydrated.  This will really help with the radiotherapy if it burns.  I sincerely wish you both all the luck in the world and will be here if every you feel you want to offload some thoughts and feelings.  God luck and best wishes for the rest of your lives together - oh, Sal will be finished just in time for you both to enjoy a very special Christmas.  Take care, be lucky all the time, Ann x
