On November 4th my family had a great celebration to mark the end of my treatment. For me it is definitely a time to breathe a sigh of relief that I’m done and allow my body to heal. My energy level through radiation was my biggest challenge. Eight plus hours of sleep are still needed for me to get through the day.
I’m extremely thankful to everyone who supported, prayed, and helped me during the last 8 months. I'm not sure I could have gotten through it without you. I now start the fourth stage of treatment which is taking the anti-estrogen drug Femara. I will take this for 5 years. Let’s hope I can tolerate the side effects because its proven to have a greater reduction of breast cancer reoccurrence in certain groups of women. I can only hope and pray that will be the case.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for following me in this journey.
Cathy
Congratulations Cathy! My prayers will continue for you and your family.
