Milestone day for you Carran and Bex & Hubbie, and anyone else finishing treatmenttoday, time to ring the bell and mark the end of treatment. Today can be emotional, big relief to end the daily trek to hospital, but a bit scary too not to had medical team on hand daily. They are still on the end of the phone though.
No glossing it up, the next 2-3 weeks will be tough. When handed my discharge notes I was told to take the pain relief I needed and sleep - best advice ever! We're all here if you need any support / tips.
Sending you big hugs, Ronnie x
I’ll echo the best wishes too. I didn’t have a bell or indeed discharge notes but I did sleep a lot for two weeks. It’s a distant memory now, like someone else did it.
