I rang the bell today! Radiation is done.

[brer cat]

All I have left in my breast cancer journey is six months of IV Zometa for osteopinia, and 5 years of oral hormone chemo. The worst is over, and I remain very positive about my future.

Thanks to all of you for encouragement and support!

70. After 5 malignancies I can tell you it is all about -

your mental state of mind now. Positive affirmations will
help more than you could know now. Never allow any negative
thought to stay longer than seconds. They will pop-up on a
regular basis. Here is a site that can help.

[brer cat]

71. Thank yoou. Both the surgeon and radiology

oncologist told me that my positive attitude and excellent level of support had made a huge difference so far and would continue to keep me moving forward. I have had a few disappointments, but I didn't dwell on them long and kept my spirits up. The support from DU has been an important part pf that. You don't walk alone when you are part of this group!

[samplegirl]

[mercuryblues]

78. Yay!!

Check into the YMCA. They offer a "live strong" program cancer survivors. You will know when your body is ready for it. It is free and you get free membership for your family for the duration.

It put me on a path to regain my strength.

[brer cat]

80. Thanks for the tip. There is a Y not far from me.

[phxjurist]

84. Radiation is the gift that keeps on giving. Congratulations on finishing.

[Old Crank]

85. Great news.

My wife has 6 more radiation appointments and will ring the bell next Thursday.

Congratulations. You have had a harder road to travel than my wife.

[brer cat]

87. Give her my best wishes for a complete recovery.

The worst part of radiation was the table I had to be on for the treatment. It felt like concrete embedded with rocks which was a disaster for my old arthritic spine. I had a good bit of fatigue and some discomfort after about a dozen sessions, but otherwise it wasn't too bad.

I hope she does well with the radiation and her recovery.

[sheshe2]

89. That is awful!

It's time for someone to come up with a new table design! It's treatment not torture.

[Old Crank]

103. My wife says thanks

The table she had has a thin pad and they have supports for her knees, so it isn't quite like that.

We are in Germany. The woman radiologist who found it is a witch. The tumor was 6 millimeter in size. She pointed it out on the mammogram and I still couldn't see it.
The prognosis is good. She told my wife; You Will survive this...

109. Been there too

My radiation was on my head and chest, it was brutal, I was SO happy when I made it to the last day - I hope things go well for you, I have had several bouts with cancer starting in 1980, and then again 2020 and a smaller incident a few years after, but somehow I am here to this day. It is tough, I hope you kick it in the pants!

[brer cat]

110. I'm glad you are still with us! I can't imagine

how I would handle a recurrence.

[electric_blue68]

111. Congrats, and here's to continuing recovery...

I didn't know about the ring bell tradition until a good cousin of mine did it.

(I'd already had had a few people dear to me be successfully treated prior to this cousin)
.
Here's 🍷 to many years of good health to you!

[Laurelin]

112. Congratulations!
