All done...
I had my last radiation session today! No more traipsing back and forth to BCCA. No more scheduling everything in our lives around that ever-changing, daily timeslot. It is also the end of my treatments for now. So no more waiting for results, waiting for surgery, recovering from surgery etc., etc. I am very happy that it is over. And although I am aware that I got off relatively lightly, it feels like it has been a long and difficult struggle. But now I can move forward with life. Well, having said that I am so tired that by 3pm I am basically a zombie. So first things first and I am looking forward to getting past this overwhelming sense of fatigue and regaining some much-needed energy; running around with the kids and having a laugh. But when people ask me if I'm going to celebrate...and what I will do, I reply that as a celebration I would like to go back to bed and spend a few days there (fat chance of that!). But that is how I feel. Right now, all I want to do is rest.

Well done. I do not know about you, but I have found that since having children that I rate sleep a whole lot higher than I ever did. So even not having gone through what you have, I can totally relate to your mode of celebration. I am sure that you will celebrate in lots of minor ways as you embrace each little semblance of energy creaping back and the return of the ability to join in and take part with vigour.
But hey, I would still hold it as a celebration credit to be had at a date to be determined!
A happy return to health is wished from all of us here, and particularly a speedy on for you.
Take care and lots of love.

Congratulations on finishing all the treatments, surgeries, scheduling mayhem, poking, prodding and generally flashing your suntanned boob to half of Vancouver :-) I was glad to be there with you for Monday's session - it filled me with an even greater admiration for how remarkably you've navigated your way (emotionally and physically)through all of this.
You need a champagne breakfast & a dozen big fat croissants....for a month!
Love

Thanks for messages. Wendy, Yes! you are right about sleep. I rate sleep AND lazing in bed as among my favourite things to do! I hope you are all doing well over there :)
Treen: champagne breakfast sounds good (except I'm not sure what that is?). Time for new adventures! xxxx
