Hello All
1 year ago I had my last DD taxol....now I am in Arizona and having a great time.  Hot Flashes are nearly gone, burning, stinging skin while doing anything is gone gone gone (took 10 months) .  Acid reflux is almost gone.  I feel great.  I am walking about 3+ miles a day and doing weights every other day...and square dancing 5 x a week.
It was a rough time, but now I am feeling great.  Dyed my hair back to the colour it used to be today.
Good wishes to all...and for most of us, we end up feeling great, however.....it does take time.

Hugs from Sunny Mesa Arizona.  I love it here.

Hi Linda,

So glad to hear your happy news! 

I am coming up on 1 year out from chemo at the end of February and just had mammograms, ultrasounds, (and bone scan, x-rays and MRI due to partial hip fracture, healing w/o surgery thus far). All tests showed NED. Since I am feeling great otherwise, when hip is better will be on the road again for sure! 

Love and Peace, 
Sue
