Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 - HURRAH!!!! Congratulations on finishing chemo! My oncology dept. gave me a graduation, (complete with diploma signed by the Drs. and nurses) after my last A/C...(wish my chemo brain knew where I put it!). After 5 years, I still get the heebie-jeebies every time I have to go there for a checkup. One thing that nobody told me was that you may feel helpless after treatments have ended......like you're no longer doing all you can to defeat the cancer and panicky that maybe it's not all gone. I understand now that nearly everyone goes through that feeling, so don't be upset when it hits! Big hugs, ssist@... wrote: Well girls, I've done it...last 4 hours of chemo completed today. Needless to say, I'm thrilled and sad, all at the same time. I left the office with tears welling in my eyes, could barely say goodbye to the wonderful girls in the doctor's office. They hugged and kissed me - they were just great. This part of the journey has been an uphill struggle. I think the sadness evokes from the fact that this has been a battle, and although this faze is done, I still had to go through it...NO ONE should have to go through this, which is why I choose to do the Walk on Sunday in New York. Just remember, I couldn't have gotten this far, nor done it without all of you...you're the best and I love you all for all your encouragement and help...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 HOORAY! Congratulations . Done at last. You are not the first person I have spoken to who expressed grief at saying goodbye to the nurses in the Chemo clinic. What a wonderful group of people they must be. I am facing my first chemo next week and have no doubt I too will be grateful to the nurses who make it a tolerable experience. Thanks for sharing, and wishing you a grand future that is cancer free forever. Janet in Seattle -----Original Message-----From: ssist@...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Congratulations ......here's wishing you a cancer free forever future. I know I will feel the same about the staff around me when the time comes. I have my second to the last chemo tomorrow if all goes well. It was supposed to be last week but I ended up in the hospital for 5 days so no chemo for me that week. Have fun on the walk and take care!
